With the Self Assessment deadline of 31 January 2027 approaching, now is the ideal time to start preparing your tax return. At Evans Entwisle, we encourage clients not to leave things until the last minute.
Getting your information to us early means you can find out how much tax you owe well before the payment deadline, giving you more time to plan ahead and avoid any unwelcome surprises.
Self Assessment deadline: 31 January 2027
Your Self Assessment tax return for the 2025/26 tax year must generally be submitted to HMRC, and any tax due paid, by 31 January 2027. However, you do not need to wait until January to find out your tax liability.
Know what you owe in advance
By preparing your Self Assessment tax return early, we can calculate your tax bill and give you a clearer picture of what you need to pay. We will also let you know if you need to make any payments on account for the 2026/27 tax year.
This can be particularly helpful if you are self-employed, receive rental income, earn dividends or have other sources of income that are not taxed at source.
Knowing your tax position early gives you time to ask questions, understand your obligations and make arrangements to meet your tax payments.
Plan ahead and avoid unwelcome surprises
Knowing your tax liability in advance gives you time to plan your finances and set aside the money needed to pay HMRC. Rather than facing an unexpected bill in January, you can budget accordingly and enjoy greater peace of mind.
Preparing your return early also gives us time to identify any missing information, answer questions and ensure your return is accurate.
Leaving everything until the deadline can create unnecessary pressure and increase the risk of delays. Starting early helps make the process more manageable and gives you greater control over your finances.
