Tax Return Filing By Internet Service

We will, from the information you provide: Prepare a validated personal income tax return, to include supplementary pages, if applicable. Prepare a calculation of your income tax liabilities and, if applicable, capital gains tax liabilities. We will automatically claim any income tax and national insurance contributions that appear to have been overpaid. Unless you have indicated on the system otherwise we will request the repayment is sent to the address stated on the income tax return. Provide you with a copy of the tax return form that we intend to submit to the Inland Revenue. The copy will be e-mailed to you for approval prior to submission, together with your income tax computation. If the return needs repair, this will be undertaken at additional cost when this repair arises through incorrect or omitted information at the time of original submission of data by yourself. A new return will be sent to you for approval. This form should be signed and retained by you as a record of your income tax return form that we have submitted. Advise you, by e-mail, of the amounts of income tax to be paid and the dates by which you should make the payments, including payments on account and the balancing payment. Submit the Income Tax Return form to the Inland Revenue electronically either by confirmation of assignment to act via the Government Gateway or on receipt of the Inland Revenue authority 64-8. If authorised by you, deal with any enquiries raised by the Inland Revenue regarding amendments required to your return and prepare any amended returns. This may involve additional cost and will be notified to you in advance. You agree you are legally responsible for making correct returns and for payment of tax on time.

Deadlines - There are two important deadlines for submitting your tax return: 30th September - to enable the Inland Revenue to collect an underpayment that is less than £2000 via a restriction in your notice of coding for the following tax year. 31st January - the latest filing date before a fixed penalty may arise. To ensure that your Income Tax Return is submitted before these dates the signed authority, 64-8 and your tax return details must be held by us at least 5 working days before each deadline or we cannot guarantee the tax return form will reach the Inland Revenue before the due date. We will not be responsible, if as a result of a delay in the receipt of your signed 64-8 Inland Revenue authority, penalties or interest charges are incurred arising from late submission of your tax return. We anticipate sending your tax return to you within three working days, however in times where we anticipate high volumes of traffic our turnaround times may increase. However, we will try to keep any disruption to a minimum. We also reserve the right to change the price of the service at short notice. Please note that this is solely a form filling service.
