Watch out for HMRC Scams
It could be a scam if it:
1. is unexpected, 2. offers a refund, tax rebate or grant, 3. asks for personal information like bank details, 4. is threatening, 5. tells you to transfer money
You can be sure that HMRC will:
1. only ever call you asking about a claim or payment on a debt that you already know about, 2. never leave a voicemail threatening legal action, 3. never give the reason for a call on a voice message
If you receive any communication through WhatsApp claiming to be from HMRC it’s a scam.

Third grant of the Self-Employment Income Support Scheme (SEISS)
Third grant of the Self-Employment Income Support Scheme (SEISS)
For self-employed clients, the third SEISS grant closes for claims on Friday 29 January. You must claim on or before this date.
Similar to the first and second SEISS grants, the third SEISS grant will also be subject to Income Tax and self-employed National Insurance. Alongside the first and second grants, the third SEISS grant should be reported on your 2020/21 Self Assessment tax returns (filing deadline 31 January 2022).
Where you also claim Universal Credit (UC), the Self-Employed Income Support Scheme grant should be reported to DWP in the month the grant is paid and may affect the amount of UC received.

This will not be available until June 2020.

Self Assessment at Christmas
| Posted on December 13, 2018 at 2:35 PM |
Take the weight off your shoulders this Christmas………
Mince pies, fairy lights and tax returns, two out three ain’t bad, let SFS Accounting carry the burden of the third one!
Get your tax return done well ahead of the 31 January 2019 deadline so you can relax and enjoy your celebrations.
The ghost of Christmas Past………….
● In 2017, 8,623 people completed their return on Christmas Eve or Christmas Day
● 92 tax returns arrived at HMRC between 11pm and midnight on Christmas Eve
● around 1.3 million submitted returns after Christmas
● 30,348 between 11pm and midnight on 31 January
● around three-quarters of a million people missed the deadline
Those unwanted gifts…………
If you fail to submit a tax return before midnight on 31 January 2019 you’ll face a fine of £100, with interest charged on any late payments.
That applies to returns which are up to three months late. If you let your return slip later again, you could see the fine rise by £10 a day, up to a maximum of £900.
If after six months you still haven’t sorted it, a further penalty of 5% of the tax you owe, or £300 – whichever is more – applies.
There’s an additional penalty of 5%, or a £300 charge, if you still haven’t reached a resolution after a year, while fines of 5% of the unpaid tax can be charged after 30 days, 6 months and 12 months.
Greater Expectations………….
● the process is easier than it used to be
● giving your accountants time means they can apply for all the tax breaks you may entitled to (lower your tax bill)
● if you want your accountant to act on your behalf you need to give them time to notify HMRC of this intention.
Take the pressure off and contact us now for help with your self-assessment
