Self Assessment Tax Returns — Winchester

Your personal tax return, handled

Self Assessment is how HMRC collects tax that isn't taken at source — and if you're a company director, sole trader, landlord or higher earner, you probably need to file one. We prepare and submit your return, claim every allowance, and — for sole traders and landlords now moving to Making Tax Digital for Income Tax — handle the new quarterly filings too. No jargon, no last-minute January panic.

What's Included

Everything your personal return needs

Whether your income comes from dividends, self-employment, property or all three, we pull it together into one accurate return.

Director's dividends & salary

We report your salary, dividends and benefits-in-kind correctly, dovetailing with your company's accounts and payroll so the figures always reconcile.

Directors

Self-employment & side income

Sole trader profits, freelance work and side-hustles — we calculate taxable profit, claim allowable expenses and apply the trading allowance where it helps.

Sole Traders

Rental & property income

Landlords: we handle rental profits, the finance-cost restriction and the property allowance, across single lets and portfolios.

Landlords

Capital gains

Sold a property, shares or other assets? We calculate the gain, apply reliefs and the annual exemption, and report it correctly.

CGT

Payments on account

We explain HMRC's payments-on-account system so the January and July payments never catch you out — and reduce them where your income has fallen.

Cash Flow

Deadline & penalty protection

We register you if needed, gather everything in good time and file before 31 January, keeping you clear of HMRC's escalating late-filing penalties.

Peace of Mind
How It Works

Self Assessment, alongside your company

Your Lumi packages cover your company — but as a director you'll usually need a personal Self Assessment return too. We prepare returns from £300 + VAT each — as a simple add-on to any package, or as a standalone service if you're a sole trader or landlord.

All packages include a Xero subscription (our recommended software). View full package details →

Worth knowing

Because we already hold your company's payroll and dividend figures, your director's Self Assessment is quick for us to prepare and always agrees with your company accounts — no chasing, no mismatches.

Deadlines never missed

We work to your dates well in advance and chase what we need from you, so late-filing penalties simply don't happen.

Fixed monthly fee

Your accounts and tax are part of one transparent monthly fee — no hourly billing, no year-end invoice shock.

Questions

Self Assessment, explained

You generally need to file if you're self-employed (turnover over £1,000), a company director with untaxed income, a landlord, have significant dividend, savings or other untaxed income, capital gains to report, or need to pay the High Income Child Benefit Charge. If you're not sure, we'll check for you.
The online filing deadline is 31 January following the end of the tax year (which runs to 5 April). Any tax owed is also due by 31 January, with a possible second payment on account by 31 July. We file well ahead so nothing is left to the last minute.
Usually yes. If you take dividends or have other untaxed income, you'll typically need a personal return on top of your company's accounts. We prepare both so the figures always match. Book a call and we'll confirm.
HMRC charges an automatic £100 penalty the day after the deadline, even if you owe no tax, with further penalties and interest building after that. Filing on time avoids all of it — which is exactly what we manage for you.
Typically your income details (dividends, P60/P45, rental statements, self-employment records), details of any capital disposals, and pension or gift-aid contributions. We give you a simple checklist and do the rest.
From 6 April 2026, Making Tax Digital for Income Tax (MTD for IT) is mandatory for sole traders and landlords whose combined self-employment and property income is over £50,000 — extending to £30,000 from April 2027 and £20,000 from April 2028. If you're in scope you'll keep digital records and send HMRC quarterly updates plus a final declaration, using compatible software, rather than just the one annual return. We set you up on Xero, handle the quarterly filings and keep you compliant — so the change is ours to manage, not yours to worry about. Book a call to check if it affects you.
