Register for Self Assessment Tax Return Online

Navigating self-assessment tax registration is crucial for individuals and businesses with income not automatically taxed, including freelancers, contractors, landlords, or anyone earning income beyond employment wages. 

At Affotax, we simplify the Self Assessment Registration process, ensuring you can easily and quickly comply with HMRC’s requirements. Our expertise in self-assessment registration and submission lets you focus on your work, knowing your tax obligations are in expert hands.

Why Register for Self Assessment?

The need to register for self-assessment arises when you have income outside traditional PAYE (Pay As You Earn) employment or need to report gains, interest, or self-employment income. Self-assessment tax returns, managed via HMRC’s SA100 form, help you account for earnings beyond your regular employment. Proper registration is the first step in making sure you remain compliant, avoid penalties, and take advantage of eligible deductions.

Some common cases where registering for self-assessment applies include:

• Self-employed individuals and sole traders
• Directors of limited companies
• Individuals with property income (landlords)
• People earning interest or dividends over specific thresholds
• High-income earners with income over £100,000

Affotax’s Self Assessment Registration service is designed to make the registration process seamless and ensure you’re ready to meet your filing requirements.
