What is Self Assessment?

Efficiency & flexibility with cloud accounting

Self-Assessment is a system implemented by tax authorities that requires individuals to report their income, gains, and other relevant financial information for tax purposes. Whether you are self-employed, a company director, have rental income, or any other source of income outside of PAYE (Pay As You Earn), self-assessment ensures that you meet your tax obligations accurately.

So incredibly grateful to Nichola at Stopfords Accountants - such patient and professional training and attentive support with Make Tax Digital. As a total technophobe I was most daunted and overwhelmed at the thought of submitting MTD for the first time - Nichola went above and beyond to help me understand the process, I most definitely would not have been successful with her help. I am so grateful to Nichola and indeed to all the professional kind and helpful staff at Stopfords- I highly recommend their services.

These wasn't our first accountants so we do have others to compare against and I must say Stopfords are excellent accountants. They are always available to help with any queries and go above and beyond to make you feel at ease with your financials. We have annual meetings with Rebecca Mitchell which I look forward to as she explains everything in detail if required. I do also prefer how she prints the information out so you can see it clearly and have a copy yourself if required. Would and do highly recommend Stopfords to anyone thats looking for an accountancy service or even just excellent reliable advice.

“We have always found the staff very friendly and helpful, very professional, nothing is too much trouble. All knowledgeable and up to date, especially when its Budget time. We used services for payroll, accounts and John's self assessment. We think Stopfords are tip top, 5* My wife first worked with Stopfords back in the early 1990's whilst employed by her 2 previous bosses. It felt a natural progression when starting our own business to call upon the advice, service and support from Stopfords.”
