The deadline for filing your 2024/25 Self Assessment tax return is fast approaching. You must submit your return and pay any tax due by 31 January 2026 to avoid penalties and interest.
To meet the deadline, you will need to make sure you have:
- All income details, including any employment, pension, self-employment, dividends, rental and savings income you received.
- Records of allowable expenses and reliefs.
- Details of any pension contributions or charitable donations.
Filing early not only helps avoid last minute stress but also gives you time to check your figures and plan for any tax payments you need to make.
If you would like help preparing and submitting your tax return, please get in touch as soon as possible. We can help you ensure that your tax return is accurate, complete and filed on time.
The Department of Work and Pensions (DWP) has confirmed that all key auto-enrolment pension thresholds will remain unchanged for 2026/27.
