That’s where Nathan’s can help, we can determine your income and assess whether or not you need to submit a tax return. It is surprising how many people are ignorant of their need to self-assess.

The legislation around personal tax is large – personal allowances, abatement of allowances, basic rate band, higher rate, additional rate, rental income and losses, trading income and losses, savings income, bonds, charges on income, pension contributions.
