UK Tax Returns...Wish You Didn't Have To?
If you find yourself dreading the brown envelope with your
self assessment tax return form coming through the
post you are certainly not alone.
Millions of people feel the same way as you and go through the
same laborious process year after year. It is one of the most
time consuming and futile exercises that there are. Add to that
the fact that you begrudge having to give your hard-earned cash
away anyway, the whole experience is rarely a positive one.
Not only this, but the forms are boring and confusing. Even
having read the personal tax
return guide numerous times it is still not clear and seeing
as it isn't the right time to complete the form (it never is) it
gets put away. Your tax return self assessment
form usually ends up on top of a pile of bills that gets hidden
and then lost in the weeks leading to the tax return
deadline!
Even the keenest taxpayer can find the process frustrating.
Often you have to wait months for the various financial
institutions to send you the paperwork you need to enable you to
complete the tax return . Once you have the paperwork you
are faced with a dilemma; to ask the Inland Revenue to assess
your tax, in which case you have to complete the form by
30 th September; or assess your own tax which means you
have until the end of January. Self assessment has the
advantage that you have longer to complete your tax
return , but there is the additional worry that you might
get it wrong.
Then you have to decide whether to be adventurous and fill in
your tax return online or use the old fashioned method of
sending it in by post. To give them their due, the Inland
Revenue website is really clear and easy to use but many people
are still nervous about sending their personal details
over the internet, in particular personal financial
details.

payer. They offer expert tax advice, personal
financial planning, self assessment preparation but most
