HMRC encourages everyone to file their Self Assessment early. Why? Here are the benefits:
- Less Stress: By getting it done early, you can avoid the last-minute scramble and ensure all your information is accurate.
- Spread the Cost: Filing early allows you to budget and plan for your tax bill. You can even set up a payment plan to spread out the cost over time.
- Faster Refunds: If you're due a refund, filing early means you'll get your money back sooner!
Do you need to file a Self Assessment?
You might need to file if you:

Gather Your Documents Before Filing
While the exact documents required can vary depending on your situation, here are some key things to have on hand before we begin your Self Assessment:
- National Insurance (NI) Number
- Unique Taxpayer Reference (UTR)
