Frequently Asked Questions

Filing your own tax return can be time-consuming and risky if you’re unsure of the rules.

Working with Mays Accounting Services means:

  • Reduced risk of errors or HMRC

You may need to submit a self assessment tax return if you are:

Self-employed or a sole trader

  • A company director
  • Earning additional income (e.g. property, dividends)
  • A high earner or receiving untaxed income

If you’re unsure, we can quickly advise you.

If you’re a sole trader, claiming the right expenses can significantly reduce your tax bill.

Allowable expenses typically include:

  • Office costs (phone, internet, stationery)
  • Travel costs (fuel, train fares, parking)
  • Business equipment
  • Professional fees (e.g. accountant)

Expenses must be “wholly and exclusively” for business use.

Keeping accurate records is essential to ensure you claim everything correctly and avoid HMRC issues.

If you’re unsure what you can claim, speaking to an accountant can help you maximise your tax efficiency
