Questions and Answers
How do I register to file a tax return?
I have just received my Unique Taxpayer Reference (UTR) as I need to file a tax return this year. What is the next step to filing my tax return?
Self-assessment tax returns for 2023/24 can be submitted on paper - the deadline for this is 31st October 2024, or online by 31st January 2025.
Now that you are registered for self-assessment and have received your UTR, you will need to register for HM Revenue and Customs’ Online Services so you can file your self-assessment tax return online.
Alternatively, an accountant can file your tax return for you. They’ll need your Unique Taxpayer Reference (UTR), and your tax return information and can take the stress away.
Using an accountant can save you tax, stress and time. Feel free to contact us and we will be happy to liaise with HMRC on your behalf. Call 01257 277 999 or enquire online here.
