I normally send my tax return in online just before the 31st of this month via my bookeeper who charges £300. So I would like to know if any of you do the same but without the services of a bookeeper or accountant. I've got all my reciepts takings/outgoings etc not the best but all in order.

What do you mean "you have to be earning less than 15k"

[Klean07]

Think he meant 7,500.

[Ronnie Bryce]

When you earn less than 15k, you only fill in a simple tax return, so simple a complete Idiot could do it. Over 15k, and it get's a bit more complex.

if  earning more than 15 k you carnt use the form its  called Self Assessment  tax return
for onemanband like me who earn 4k

Oh right, I haven't started yet (will be in a few days) so haven't paid tax with these forms yet but have been advised its quite simple and that an accountant isn't essential.

I normally send my tax return in online just before the 31st of this month via my bookeeper who charges £300. So I would like to know if any of you do the same but without the services of a bookeeper or accountant. I've got all my reciepts takings/outgoings etc not the best but all in order.

Why leave it so late?
