We are fast approaching the deadline for filing your Self-Assessment tax return, which is Tuesday 31 January 2023.
If you would like Cogent / CMEASY to prepare your tax return, please complete and return the Self-Assessment Tax Return Questionnaire for the tax year 2021/22 as soon as possible.
As we are close to the deadline, we cannot guarantee to complete the tax return to meet the deadline, so it is important that you complete the questionnaire as soon as possible.
Please also be aware that if we have already prepared your tax return, this will not be filed until our fee has been paid and the tax return approved.
Outstanding Balancing Payments for 2021/22 and the First Payment on Account for 2022/23 are also due and payable by 31 January 2023 and interest will be charged on late payment.
If you worked via Cogent for the period 06/04/21- 05/04/22, you can request a questionnaire for 2021/22 by emailing tax@cogentaccountants.co.uk
If you worked via CMEASY for the period 06/04/21 – 05/04/22, you can download a questionnaire for 2021/22 by logging into your secure portal at www.cmeasyauth.co.uk using your username and password and clicking ‘Documents’ and ‘Personal Taxes’.
If you cannot remember your password, please use the ‘Forgot Password’ button on the login page. If you experience any further difficulty logging into your secure portal, please email tax@cmeasy.co.uk
The standard charge, including VAT, for a basic tax return, is £240 as we have passed the deadline to receive this service at a discounted rate. Please note, more complicated tax returns, where additional work or supplements are required, will be subject to additional charges.
If you have a second shareholder, they may also need to file a tax return, even if they haven’t previously. For further advice, please contact our Tax Department.
Penalties for late filing of tax returns can be as much as £1,600, even when there is no tax due, so please ensure your tax return is filed on time, whether you ask Cogent / CMEASY to prepare it for you, or you have made other arrangements.
Due to postal delays arising from industrial action, please return your completed questionnaire together with any attachments by email only to our Tax Department – tax@cogentaccountants.co.uk if you are a Cogent client for the period or tax@cmeasy.co.uk if you were a CMEASY client for the period.
You are required to file a tax return if:
- You have been asked to file one by HMRC
- You have a tax liability for the year (e.g. additional and higher rate tax, student loan in repayments, high-income child benefit charge or if you have any income which has not been taxed at source)
- You have a new source of income that needs to be declared.
