***PLEASE IGNORE THIS REMINDER IF YOU HAVE ALREADY SENT US YOUR QUESTIONNAIRE***
We are fast approaching the deadline for filing your Self-Assessment tax return, which is Wednesday 31 January 2024.
If you would like Cogent to prepare your tax return, please complete and return the Self-Assessment Tax Return Questionnaire for the tax year 2022/23 as soon as possible.
As we are now very close to the key 31 January date, 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 2022/23 and the First Payment on Account for 2023/24 are also due and payable by 31 January 2024 and interest will be charged on late payment.
You can request a questionnaire for 2022/23 by emailing tax@cogentaccountants.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 us to prepare it for you, or you have made other arrangements.
Please return your completed questionnaire together with any attachments by email only to our Tax Department – tax@cogentaccountants.co.uk
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.
