Whether you're a sole trader, a limited company director, a landlord, or even if you simply have a side hustle, filing your yearly Self Assessment is one of your most important responsibilities.
Self Assessment submissions can be complex, but with the expert support of Crunch’s Chartered Certified Accountants, we can make it simple.
At Crunch, we can help you file your Self Assessment on any of our accountancy packages, from our free online bookkeeping software right the way through to our paid packages. Our experts can prepare and file your Self Assessment on your behalf - all you have to do is check it over and sign it off.
Self Assessment is HMRC’s way of finding out how much Income Tax and National Insurance you need to pay. Employees have their Income Tax deducted automatically from their employment income through the PAYE system – this doesn’t happen for self-employed workers, or for some other types of income, such as dividends, pensions or income from savings and investments, which is where the Self Assessment comes in.
Whether you’re earning money from a self-employed venture, or you’re a full-time landlord, you need to register for and file a Self Assessment with HMRC by 31st January each year.
At Crunch, we have over 10 years of experience in helping small business owners just like you submit their Self Assessments. We currently support over 10,000 limited companies, sole traders, freelancers, and members of the self-employed community, and each year, we file their Self Assessments on their behalf.
Even if you’re not a current Crunch client and aren’t ready to take up one of our paid packages, you can sign up for our free accounting software, Crunch Free, and purchase our Self Assessment service for a one-off fee. No matter the complexity of your Self Assessment, we can file your return for £95+VAT. This price increases to £200+VAT on 1st December, so the earlier you file, the more time and stress you save!
Professional helpful staff Quick responses and they're really thorough and explain the process step by step :)

Our CIS service streamlines the process for contractors and subcontractors working in the construction industry, ensuring you’re making the correct tax and National Insurance payments.
Set up a pension auto enrolment scheme for your employees and let our experts administer the deductions from employees payslips.
Self Assessment is HMRC’s way of finding out how much Income Tax and National Insurance Contributions you need to pay. Employees have these taxes deducted automatically from their employment income through the PAYE system – this doesn’t happen for self-employed workers, or for some other types of income, such as dividends, pensions or income from savings and investments, which is where the Self Assessment comes in.
For more information, check out our “What is Self Assessment?” article.
As a general rule, anyone who receives income that isn’t taxed at source needs to complete a Self Assessment.
If you’re a sole trader, the income you receive from your trade doesn’t have National Insurance Contributions or Income Tax deducted from it, so you need to tell HMRC about that income on a Self Assessment form so they can calculate what, if any, tax you owe.
If you’re a limited company director, you’ll usually need to file a Self Assessment to let HMRC know about any dividend income you’ve received from your company. Check out our “Do I have to file a Self Assessment?” article for all the details.
You’ll need to register with HMRC to tell them you need to submit a Self Assessment. You must enrol for Self Assessment by 5th October after the end of the tax year for which you are required to file a tax return – for example, if you need to file a Self Assessment for the 2020/21 tax year, you should register by 5th October 2021. If you miss this deadline, you may have to pay a penalty.
You can register online, by post or by phone – always make sure you give yourself enough time in case anything goes wrong. To register, you’ll need your:
After you’ve registered, HMRC will send you a Unique Taxpayer Reference (UTR) number in the post. You use your UTR to register for HMRC Online Services. HMRC will then send you a PIN number in the post to access Online Services where you can file your Self Assessment. Once you’ve registered once, you won’t have to register again.
Once you’ve submitted your Self Assessment, HMRC will tell you how much tax you owe. You’ll usually make your payment via Direct Debit or bank transfer.
If you’d like to, you can prepare and file your own Self Assessment with HMRC, but we would strongly recommend you seek professional support from an accountant like Crunch. Even the tiniest inaccuracy can cause a major headache further down the line, so enlisting the support and experience of a professional accountant to file an accurate Self Assessment is vital.
You’re under no legal obligation to hire an accountant to file your Self Assessment, but their experience and expertise makes an accountant an invaluable asset.
Your Self Assessment must be filed ahead of HMRC’s 31st January deadline each year. You can file yours any time after 6th April; we highly recommend you file your Self Assessment at the earliest possible opportunity.
There are a lot of factors that can impact the length of time it takes to complete a Self Assessment. If you’re filing it by yourself, it could take less than an hour using HMRC’s online service. If your personal tax affairs are complex, with information needed from various sources and allowances to claim, it may take days or even weeks depending on how accurately you’ve maintained your records.
At Crunch, we aim to complete your Self Assessment within six weeks of your request.
As of right now, Self Assessment tax returns are not subject to HMRC’s Making Tax Digital (MTD) scheme. MTD is being introduced for some taxpayers, such as landlords and the self-employed, from 2024. You can find out more in our ITSA article.
Self Assessments can get complicated if you’re new to the process, or if you’re filing your Self Assessment by yourself. Getting an accountant to do it for you can make the process much simpler, especially if you’ve kept accurate, up-to-date records in your online accounting software.
At Crunch, we offer a Self Assessment service on our Crunch Free and Limited Company Pro packages from a simple, flat fee of £95+VAT, no matter how complex your return is. This price increases to £200+VAT from 1st December.
Self Assessment filing is included as part of our Crunch Sole Trader Pro, Limited Company Premium, or Limited Company Small Business packages.
On average, a UK accountant will charge you anywhere between £150 to £250 (or potentially more!) to prepare and file your Self Assessment, depending on the complexity of your return. That makes Crunch one of the most cost-effective Self Assessment solutions for UK small business owners.
By logging into HMRC’s online services, you can access your previously filed Self Assessments, where you’ll have the option to print your documents. You may require a copy of your Self Assessment for mortgage applications and other checks.
When you’ve registered with HMRC and received your Unique Taxpayer Reference (UTR) code and log-in details, you can access your HMRC account. From there, you can file your Self Assessment.
If you’re a Crunch client, we can file your Self Assessment with HMRC on your behalf. All you need to do is approve the return we prepare for you, and we’ll do the rest!
You can deregister for Self Assessment if you’re no longer self-employed. You can call HMRC on 0300 200 3310 and inform them you’re no longer self-employed, or you can simply deregister online.
You’ll need the following to hand:
If you’re entitled to a tax refund from your Self Assessment, you should allow four weeks for your refund to be sent to your bank account.
If any tax is due within 35 days of your Self Assessment submission (for instance if a payment on account is due), you may not receive a refund. The money may instead be deducted from the tax you owe.
HMRC will usually send you information about your Self Assessment by post. This includes information about any rebates or amounts to be paid by post, so you must ensure your details are kept up-to-date on your online account.
Occasionally, you may receive a text reminder if you're due to file your Self Assessment. HMRC will NEVER contact you by phone or text regarding a tax rebate or refund, or to ask for personal or financial information.
HMRC don’t use a pre-recorded message asking you to transfer money and threatening legal action. If you’re in any doubt about a call, email, or text, it’s probably a scam. Always check your online account and you’ll see if you owe any money or not. You can find out more about scams on HMRC’s website.
