What is Self Assessment?
The UK system for declaring untaxed income and paying tax on it.
Self Assessment is how sole traders and others with untaxed income tell HMRC what they earned and pay the tax due. You file a return once a year.
Your bill is based on profit, which is income minus allowable expenses, so tracking both accurately all year makes filing painless.
Run the numbers for real.
