FAQs – Personal Tax & Self Assessment
Q1: What are the requirements of the Companies Act for personal tax?
The Companies Act focuses on company accounts, not personal tax. However, company directors often need to file a self assessment return for personal income.
Q2: What are the requirements of Companies House?
Companies House does not process personal tax returns – these are handled by HMRC.
Q3: What are the requirements of HMRC?
HMRC requires individuals with certain income sources to file an annual SA100 tax return, usually online via the self assessment system.
Q4: Are there penalties for getting the SA100 late or wrong?
Yes. Late filing penalties start at £100 and increase the longer you delay. Incorrect returns can result in fines and interest on unpaid tax.
Q5: When is my self assessment return and payment due?
- Filing deadline (online): 31 January following the end of the tax year (5 April)
- Payment deadline: 31 January for balancing payment; 31 July for payments on account if applicable
Q6: Can I prepare and submit my SA100 through bookkeeping software?
Some software can generate a tax summary, but HMRC-approved filing requires either their online portal or submission through authorised accountant software.
Q7: What sort of incomes have to be declared on a SA return?
Employment income, self-employed earnings, rental income, dividends, savings interest, pensions, and certain benefits.
Q8: Do company directors need to file a personal tax return?
Yes – if they receive dividends, benefits, or income not fully taxed through PAYE.
Q9: What is a UTR?
A Unique Taxpayer Reference (UTR) is a 10-digit code used by HMRC to identify you for self assessment.
Q10: How can I get a UTR?
You can request one by registering for self assessment with HMRC online or by phone.
Q11: What is the difference between self-employed and self assessment?
Self-employed describes your work status; self assessment is the system used to report your income and calculate tax owed.
