Every year, thousands of sole traders across the UK are required to submit a Self Assessment tax return to HMRC. If you’re running your own business, side hustle, or freelance service, you’re responsible for reporting your income, claiming expenses, and paying the right amount of tax and National Insurance.

The good news? You don’t have to do it alone.

Self Assessment is HMRC’s way of collecting Income Tax from those who don’t pay it automatically through PAYE. Sole traders must file a tax return if they earn over £1,000 in self-employment income during the tax year.

You must:

• Register with HMRC for Self Assessment
• Keep accurate records of income and expenses
• Submit your tax return by 31 January
• Pay any tax and Class 2/Class 4 National Insurance owed

At AdminBooks, we specialise in helping sole traders manage their finances and meet deadlines with confidence. We make the Self Assessment process smooth and stress-free.

Here’s how we help:
