Self Assessment Tax Return

What Is a Self Assessment Tax Return?

A self-assessment tax return is a document issued by HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) in the United Kingdom, utilized by taxpayers to disclose their income, gains, and pertinent details in order to determine their tax liability. This obligation is particularly significant for individuals who are self-employed, receive income from property, or earn money from sources outside the scope of PAYE (Pay As You Earn). Moonstone Accountants specializes in offering expert assistance and guidance to individuals and businesses, ensuring the precise and timely completion of their self-assessment tax returns.
