To help you collate the information you need to prepare your self assessment tax return for 2010/11 we have prepared a useful checklist for you to download.

HM Revenue & Customs must receive your tax return by 31 January 2012 to avoid a penalty.

The earlier you prepare your accounts and tax return the better. You can claim any refunds promptly to help your cashflow and where tax is due; you will have plenty of time to plan your tax payments.

Thinking of starting a business?

If you are turning a hobby into a business or starting a whole new venture, here are some tips to help you get up and running without falling foul of the (UK) tax authorities. You will need to register with HMRC as a new business within 3 months of starting to trade. Otherwise you will be fined £100 (or more if they find out about you before you register). Registration is quite simple and can be done over the phone.
