Our one-off Self Assessment prices
Self Assessment preparation is £80, plus £40 for self-employment. The self-employed package combines these two items at £120 including VAT. Optional other-income preparation adds £40, bringing that selection to £160 including VAT.
These are the website calculator prices for the selected scope. Tell us about incomplete records, several income sources or work outside those selections so that we can confirm a suitable scope before you proceed.
What affects the work involved?
The number and type of income sources, the condition of your records and any additional questions determine the work required. Bring business income and expense records, relevant tax documents and details of other income to the discussion.
A lower preparation fee is only useful if it covers the work you need. Agree what is included, what records you must supply and how additional work will be handled. Bookkeeping to organise a backlog is separate from simply preparing a return from usable records.
MTD is a separate quarterly service
Where Making Tax Digital for Income Tax applies, our MTD support is £60 per quarter including VAT. Optional receipts and bank-record work adds £30 per quarter for up to one hour of work. Annual Self Assessment remains a separate one-off selection.
The calculator shows the billing basis of each item and the initial payment. It does not set up an automatic recurring subscription; the ongoing arrangements are agreed separately.
The service fee and your tax bill
Paying for return preparation does not pay your income tax bill. HMRC tax, payments on account and any penalties are separate from our service fee. Use the official deadline guidance to check what you owe and when.
For the usual 2025/26 online return, the filing deadline is 31 January 2027. Your own circumstances can affect deadlines, so check the HMRC guidance rather than relying only on a general date.
Questions about self assessment tax return costs
Is Self Assessment a monthly subscription?
No. Self Assessment and self-employment preparation are one-off payments. MTD support, if selected, is priced separately per quarter.
Are your Self Assessment prices VAT inclusive?
Yes. The £80 return-preparation item, £40 self-employment item and optional £40 other-income item include VAT.
Can I buy the £80 item alone in the self-employed calculator?
The self-employed calculator combines return preparation with the £40 self-employment item, giving a £120 package. If you are not self-employed or need a different scope, contact us to discuss your return.
Does the fee include the tax I owe?
No. It pays for the selected service. Your tax bill and any payments on account are paid to HMRC separately.
