Personal Tax Service & Advice
Optimise Your Tax Liability
1st Contact Accounting’s Personal Tax service involves collecting
all the required information for any individual client, performing the tax computations,
and submitting the information online.
In the UK, Self Assessment Personal Tax
return (or SA100) must be filed with HMRC by an individual in the following
circumstances:
- Directors of a Limited Company
- Have income where tax was not withheld at source. (E.g. Rental Income or Capital
Gains)
- Pays tax at the higher rate (40% for PAYE, 32.5% for Dividends)
Individual Tax – When Don’t I Need to File a Return?
Most employees pay tax under PAYE system and are not required to file a tax return
as the PAYE system operates to withhold the correct amount of tax from wages or
salaries.
Personal Tax Return – Directors of Limited Companies
1st Contact Accounting clients, who are directors of a limited company, are required
to submit a
Self Assessment Personal Tax return each year.
The deadline for submission and payment is 31 January the year following the end
of any tax year on 5 April if the tax return if filed online, and 31 October following
the end of the tax year if the tax return filed is a paper return. The payment deadline

personal tax return is due by 31 January 2010,
if the return is filed online and by 31 October 2009 if a paper return is filed.
Payment deadline is 31 January 2010 in both cases.
Most of the information can be submitted to 1st Contact Accounting via a secure,
personalised web form. Any document copies can be submitted by email.
