Missing the 31 January Self Assessment deadline can trigger an automatic HMRC penalty, even if no tax is owed. Further penalties and interest may apply if the return or tax remains outstanding. If you have missed a deadline, contact us so we can help you file as quickly as possible and review whether an appeal may be appropriate.

You are not legally required to use an accountant as a sole trader, but most sole traders find it saves time and helps avoid mistakes. A sole trader accountant can prepare your Self Assessment tax return, review allowable expenses, keep your records organised, help with Making Tax Digital and support you with HMRC deadlines.

Sole traders pay Income Tax and National Insurance on taxable business profits after allowable expenses. The amount depends on your total income, available allowances and tax band. We calculate your taxable profit, identify allowable expenses and explain your expected tax bill before filing your Self Assessment return.

A sole trader is self-employed and personally responsible for business debts, paying tax through Self Assessment. A limited company is a separate legal entity, with directors, shareholders, Corporation Tax and Companies House filing requirements. The best structure depends on your profits, risk, administration, long-term plans and how you want to extract income.

We help clients choose compatible software, set up digital records and prepare for quarterly updates.
