Expert Self Assessment Tax Returns for Hackney Individuals & the Self-Employed!
Self Assessment is one of the most essential financial obligations you will go through as a self-employed individual or a higher rate taxpayer in the United Kingdom. Every year, millions of people report their income and calculate their tax liability along with submitting their return to HM Revenue & Customs on time and in full compliance with tax legislation. Failing to claim eligible allowances or missing the deadline can lead to unnecessary fines and interest charges.

Whether you are filing your first ever tax return or looking for a more trustworthy accountant to take your stress away, our friendly and experienced team is here to help. We go beyond expectations thus providing a genuinely professional service at a cost effective price.

Our Self Assessment Services in Hackney
Lexarox Accounts provides a complete, end-to-end Self Assessment service tailored to your individual circumstances. Here is what is included when you work with us:
Preparation and Submission of Your Tax Return
We handle the full preparation of your Self Assessment tax return, gathering the information we need from you, calculating your taxable income, and submitting the completed return to HMRC on your behalf. We ensure everything is accurate and submitted well ahead of the 31 January online deadline, so you never face a late-filing penalty.
Maximising Your Allowances and Deductions
Many self-employed individuals and landlords in Hackney pay more tax than they need to simply because they are unaware of the allowances, reliefs, and legitimate business expense deductions available to them. Our accountants conduct a thorough review of your income and expenditure to ensure you are claiming everything you are entitled to, from the trading allowance and capital allowances to mileage, home office costs, professional subscriptions, and more.
HMRC Communications and Enquiry Support
As your appointed HMRC agent, Lexarox Accounts handles all correspondence with HMRC on your behalf. If HMRC opens an enquiry into your return, we represent you and manage the process from start to finish, protecting your interests and ensuring any queries are resolved efficiently.
Payments on Account Advice
If your Self Assessment tax bill exceeds £1,000, HMRC will require payments on account towards the following year’s liability. Many taxpayers are caught off guard by this. We explain how payments on account work, advise you on whether you can apply to reduce them, and ensure you have sufficient funds set aside to avoid interest charges.
Making Tax Digital (MTD) Support
Making Tax Digital for Income Tax (MTD for ITSA) is being phased in for self-employed individuals and landlords with income above the relevant thresholds. Lexarox Accounts is fully prepared for MTD compliance, offering quarterly declaration support and ongoing digital record-keeping guidance, with prices starting from £100 per declaration. We will ensure your business is ready well before any MTD obligations apply to you.
