FEBRUARY – WEEK 4

Helpful Hint: Your Tax Return isn’t “Just a Form” — It’s a Financial Risk if Done Incorrectly


Many sole traders underestimate how much depends on a correctly prepared tax return.


It affects:

  • Your tax bill
  • Your ability to get credit
  • Mortgage applications
  • Business loans
  • Benefits or childcare claims
  • HMRC risk rating

A rushed or DIY return can harm your finances far more than people realise.


The Hidden Dangers of DIY Self Assessment


Common mistakes include:

  • Entering the wrong figures
  • Forgetting additional income
  • Missing allowable expenses
  • Using incorrect accounting methods
  • Miscalculating profit
  • Not understanding capital allowances
  • Incorrect home-working claims
  • Wrong mileage claims


Any of these can:

  • Lead to overpaying
  • Trigger HMRC checks
  • Delay financial applications
  • Cause penalties


A tax return is too important to gamble on.
