Top mistakes first-time filers make
Missing the deadline
Filing late can lead to penalties, even if you don't owe any taxes. The deadline for self-assessment filing in the UK is Jan 31st.
Claiming incorrect deductions
Many first-time filers mistakenly claim deductions they aren't eligible for or miss out on deductions they can use.
Forgetting to report all income
It's important to report all income streams, even if they're small, as HMRC can easily cross-check income details.
Not keeping records
Receipts, invoices, and other records help back up your tax return and avoid issues if HMRC requests further documentation.
