Christmas. The season for twinkling lights, turkey feasts, and those irresistible tin-foil-wrapped chocolates.
But while you are busy decking the halls, a decidedly un-festive guest is looming in the background: your Self-Assessment tax return.
Believe it or not, in 2023, over 25,000 people traded carols for calculators during the festive season, with nearly 5,000 submitting their tax returns on Christmas Day.
Yes, while the rest of us were tucking into our Christmas dinner or diplomatically avoiding Aunt Sue’s holiday anecdotes, some were tackling allowable expenses.
Now, there is a certain dedication to admire in anyone willing to swap crackers for spreadsheets, but let’s face it – that’s not exactly the kind of Christmas memory you will be framing for the mantelpiece.
Do you really want tax returns at the table?
Picture this: the smell of mulled wine wafting through the house, the joyful chaos of a family board game, and you, head down, trying to decipher the mileage log for last February’s work trip.
It is hardly a Christmas card moment.
Instead of letting tax deadlines overshadow the magic, why not tackle your return early – or better yet, let us take care of it for you? Here’s why:
- Peace of mind wrapped up with a bow – Filing early lets you relax into the festivities without that niggling “31 January” reminder stealing your joy.
- Avoid fines and frights – Miss the deadline, and you could face penalties that make Ebenezer Scrooge look generous.
- Budget smarter – Getting your return sorted early means you will know exactly what is due, giving you time to prepare before that inevitable January belt-tightening.
