Enfield Self Assessment, without the stress

Who needs a tax return in Enfield?

In short: self-employed people, landlords, company directors and anyone with untaxed or foreign income usually need to file a Self Assessment return.

As an Enfield tax return accountant we help builders, electricians and plumbers working under CIS, shop owners in Edmonton and Palmers Green, Southgate families with investment income and landlords across the borough. Many clients have not used an accountant before and simply want it done properly.

We explain your figures in plain English and make sure you never miss a deadline.

Common reasons HMRC needs a tax return

• Profits from freelance or self-employed work
• Rent from a flat, house or room, above the £1,000 property allowance
• Dividends from your own company or shares
• Gains on property, shares or crypto
• Income from overseas savings, property or pensions
• The High Income Child Benefit Charge
• A letter from HMRC asking you to file

Self-employed tax returns in Enfield

Tradespeople can claim tools, materials, protective clothing, van costs or mileage and phone costs. We work out the best method for vehicle expenses and make sure your return reflects your real profit. See self-employed accountants and add bookkeeping if you would like records kept for you.

Landlord tax returns in Enfield

We prepare landlord returns for single lets and small portfolios, claim repairs, agent fees and insurance, and explain mortgage interest relief and the new property tax rates from April 2027. Mortgage interest relief is a 20% tax credit, rising to 22% from April 2027 when property income gets its own 22%, 42% and 47% rates.

CIS refunds for Enfield tradespeople

Contractors usually deduct 20% from CIS subcontractors’ pay. Once your expenses are claimed, many subcontractors are owed money back. Filing early, from April, means your refund can arrive months before the January deadline. See CIS accountants.

Partnership tax returns

If you run a business with someone else, the partnership files an SA800 and every partner reports their share. We handle the whole set, together. See partnership tax returns.

Capital Gains Tax reporting

Sold a flat, shares or an inherited property? Gains over £3,000 are taxable at 18% or 24%, and residential property sales have a separate 60-day reporting deadline. Our Capital Gains Tax team handles both returns.

Foreign income reporting

Savings, rent or pensions from abroad usually belong on the foreign pages of your return, with relief for overseas tax. If past years were missed, our WDF service sorts it out.

Crypto tax reporting

Crypto is taxed as property in the UK. We calculate gains using same-day, 30-day and Section 104 rules and complete the crypto boxes on your return. More on our crypto page.
