Self-assessment, handled without fuss by a named partner.
Personal tax returns for individuals, sole traders and company directors across Staffordshire. Filed accurately, on time, every year.
Personal self-assessment — done properly.
We prepare and file personal self-assessment tax returns for individuals, sole traders and company directors. Accuracy and timely submission are not optional extras — they are the baseline.
Self-assessment is straightforward in principle and surprisingly easy to get wrong in practice. A missed income source, an unclaimed relief, a late filing — each carries a cost. We take the return off your desk entirely: gathering the figures, checking them against your records, and submitting to HMRC before the deadline.
Philip Barnes & Co prepares personal tax returns for a wide range of clients — employed individuals with investment income, sole traders, company directors drawing salary and dividends, and those with rental or capital gains to declare. The same partner who handles your return is the partner you speak to if HMRC writes to you.
Tax planning alongside the return.
Filing the return is the minimum. We use the process as a prompt to review your wider personal tax position — so you never pay more than the law requires.
Each return we prepare is also a review. We look at income tax, capital gains and, where relevant, inheritance tax exposure — not as separate engagements but as part of the same conversation. If something has changed in the year — a disposal, a change in employment, a new rental property — we factor it in before we file, not after.
The aim is a return that is correct, submitted on time, and accompanied by a clear note of anything worth acting on before the next tax year closes.
A short call is usually all it takes to get started.
If your self-assessment return is overdue, or you would simply prefer someone else to deal with it, call us. We will tell you what we need from you and give you a clear quote before we begin.
We act for clients across Staffordshire from our offices in Tamworth and Uttoxeter. Both offices are staffed by the same team — there is no separate department for personal tax.
If your return is outstanding, we can take it from here.
Or call the Tamworth office on 01827 60033 — Monday to Friday.
