Have We Prepared Your Tax Return Yet?

We're now into Autumn, and it's time to let us have your tax return information if you haven’t already done this.

There are a number of good reasons to do this now...

• The VAT rate goes up in January, so you can save money if we complete everything now.
• We'll have everything before the busiest months, so we'll get it back to you more quickly.
• You'll have longer notice of any tax you have to pay, so you can plan ahead.
• If you're due a repayment of tax, you'll get it sooner.
• If your tax liability is less than last year's, we can make sure you don't overpay on account for next year.
• You don't want to leave it until the last minute!
