***PLEASE IGNORE THIS REMINDER IF YOU HAVE ALREADY SENT US YOUR QUESTIONNAIRE***
If you would like Cogent to prepare and file your 2018/19 tax return and you have not yet sent us your completed personal tax return questionnaire, you will need to do so by 31 December 2019 to benefit from our discounted fee.
The standard charge including VAT for a basic tax return is £240. Questionnaires received by 31 December 2019 will receive a 50 per cent discount on the basic tax return, charged at £120; any returns received after 31 December 2019 will be charged at the full rate of £240.
Please note, more complicated tax returns where additional work or supplements are required, will be subject to additional charges.
- It is important to remember that even if your limited company has or is to be closed, it does not mean you are no longer required to file a Self-Assessment tax return. Only HMRC can release you from this responsibility and they will only do so providing you have no other sources of untaxed income.
- If you have a second shareholder, they may also need to file a tax return, even if they haven’t previously; this is due to the changes to dividend tax from April 2016 which affect many dividends over £2,000 (£5,000 in 17/18).
Our Cogent deadlines have been set so that we can complete your return in time to meet the HM Revenue & Customs’ online filing deadline of 31 January 2020. 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 to prepare it for you, or you have made other arrangements
You can request a questionnaire by emailing tax@cogentaccountants.co.uk
Please complete the questionnaire and return it together with any attachments to 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. tax on dividends or higher rate tax, 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
