Top mistakes first-time filers make
Missing the deadline
Filing late can lead to penalties, even if you don't owe any taxes. The deadline for self-assessment filing in the UK is Jan 31st.
How to avoid it - Set up reminders well before January. If possible, aim to file early to avoid last-minute stress.
Claiming incorrect deductions
Many first-time filers mistakenly claim deductions they aren't eligible for or miss out on deductions they can use.
How to avoid it - Familiarise yourself with allowable expenses if you're self-employed or working as a freelancer.
Forgetting to report all income
It's important to report all income streams, even if they're small, as HMRC can easily cross-check income details.
How to avoid it - Working with a tax advisor can ensure nothing is missed and that your return is complete.
Not keeping records
Receipts, invoices, and other records help back up your tax return and avoid issues if HMRC requests further documentation.
How to avoid it - Keep all relevant receipts, invoices, and bank statements. Organising these monthly can make filing simpler.
