Self assessment for non-trading individuals
Straightforward self assessment for non-trading individuals that keeps your records clean and your tax return stress-free, even when there’s little to report.
Simple tax returns with minimal fuss
Even if you have not traded during the year, HMRC may still expect you to complete a self-assessment tax return, and it is important to get it right. Our non-trading self-assessment service is designed to make the process quick, accurate and stress-free, helping you keep your records clean and your obligations up to date.
This package is ideal for individuals who need to file a return but have not carried out any trading activity. We will prepare and submit your return, keep you informed of all deadlines, and provide unlimited support if you have any questions.
From £200 per year, it is a straightforward way to stay compliant without the hassle.
