Self Assessment Tax Return support
Friendly, practical self assessment tax return support for sole traders, landlords, company directors and individuals who want the process to feel clearer and less stressful.

You don’t have to arrive with everything neatly organised. If the starting point is a folder of receipts, a spreadsheet, a software report or a few unanswered questions, TABF can help you work through it.
“It doesn’t matter what state your records are in;
just bring what you’ve got, and we’ll work through what you need one step at a time.”

Tax Confidence
Tax return help that makes sense
Self assessment is one of those things that can sit in the back of your mind for months.
You know it needs doing, but it can be hard to find the time, gather the right information and feel confident that everything’s correct.
TABF can help you work through the process, understand what information’s needed and get your tax return prepared properly.
The point isn’t to make tax feel more complicated. It’s to make the steps clearer, so you know what’s happening and why.
Who self assessment support is for
TABF can support different people who need to complete a self assessment tax return.
This may include:
- Sole traders
- Landlords
- Company directors
- Self-employed people
- Individuals with additional income
- Small business owners who need help understanding what to include
You don’t need to have the perfect set of records before asking for help.
If your paperwork’s messy, incomplete or spread across different places, TABF can help you work out what’s needed and what to tackle first.
Practical Support
What self assessment tax return support can include
TABF can help with the practical work involved in preparing and submitting your self assessment tax return.
This can include:
Reviewing the information needed for your tax return
Helping gather income and expense records
Preparing and submitting the return
Explaining what needs to be included
Checking records for obvious gaps or issues
Supporting sole trader tax returns
Supporting landlord tax returns
Giving practical guidance throughout the process
The support is built around helping you understand what’s happening, rather than simply leaving you with a set of figures you don’t feel confident about.
Sole Traders
Support for sole traders
If you’re a sole trader, your self assessment tax return is closely linked to your bookkeeping.
Good records make it much easier to report your income and expenses accurately. Messy or incomplete records can make the process more stressful than it needs to be.
TABF can help you prepare your tax return and also look at whether your bookkeeping process could be made easier for the future.
That might mean improving how you track expenses, reviewing your accounting software or helping you understand what information should be kept during the year.
Landlord Support
Support for landlords
Landlord tax returns can bring their own questions.
You may need help understanding rental income, property-related expenses, records, paperwork and what information needs to be included in your self assessment return.
TABF can help you talk through what’s needed and support the preparation of your return in a clear, practical way.
The goal is to help you feel more confident that the right information has been gathered, reviewed and reported.
Director Support
Support for company directors and individuals
Some company directors and individuals also need to complete self assessment tax returns.
This might be because of income from dividends, property, self-employment or other sources that need to be reported.
TABF can help you understand what information’s needed and support the preparation and submission of your return.
You don’t have to work it all out on your own.
Self assessment and better bookkeeping
Self assessment is much easier when bookkeeping is kept up to date during the year.
If you’re regularly trying to piece everything together close to the deadline, it may be time to review how your records are being kept.
TABF can help not only with the tax return itself, but also with the bookkeeping, software and systems that sit behind it.
That can mean fewer last-minute worries, clearer records and better information throughout the year.
Who this is for
Self assessment and MTD for sole traders
If you’re a sole trader, it may also be worth thinking about Making Tax Digital for Income Tax Self Assessment.
MTD for Income Tax connects closely with self assessment, but it also changes how records may need to be kept and submitted.
TABF can help you understand what may be changing, review your current bookkeeping process and decide what might need attention before MTD affects you.
This page focuses on self assessment tax return support. If you need specific help preparing for MTD, TABF also has a dedicated MTD for Sole Traders page.
