Filing your Self-Assessment Tax Return with Barbara’s Bookkeeping in Maidstone and Mid-Kent
In the UK, you will likely need to file a Self-Assessment Tax return if you have any of the following:
- Total income over £150,000: This is a key trigger for self-assessment.
- Income from multiple sources: This could include employment income, self-employment income, rental income, investment income, and more. High earners often have diverse income streams.
- Untaxed income: This might include interest from savings, dividends, or income from overseas investments.
- Capital gains: If you have sold assets (like property or shares) and made a profit, you may need to pay Capital Gains Tax.
- Self-employment income: If you are a sole trader or partner in a business, you will need to declare your income through self-assessment.
- Rental income: If you own property and rent it out, you will need to declare the rental income.
- Benefits: Some benefits may be taxable and need to be included in your self-assessment.
Even if your income is below £150,000, you might still need to file if HMRC requests it or if you want to claim certain tax reliefs.

Simplify your Self-Assessment Tax return with Barbara’s Bookkeeping
- Sole Traders: If you are running your own business as a sole trader, you are responsible for reporting your income and expenses to HMRC through a Self-Assessment tax return. This includes calculating your profits and paying income tax and National Insurance contributions.
- Landlords: If you receive rental income from a property, you’ll need to declare it on a Self-Assessment tax return. This includes calculating your rental income, allowable expenses, and any profit you make.
- Construction Industry Scheme (CIS) Subcontractors: If you work in the construction industry as a subcontractor, you’ll likely have tax deducted from your payments under the CIS. You’ll need to report this income and the deductions on your tax return. This often results in a tax refund.
- As a high-income individual, your tax situation can be complex. Self-assessment tax returns require careful attention to detail and an understanding of specific regulations.
