Tax help for self employed
Published on 20 April 2020 04:26 PM
Every year the tax charities TaxAid and Tax Help for Older People provide support to thousands of individuals who find themselves in situations of debt and anxiety. These charities help to lift that burden, they can deal with HMRC on taxpayer's behalf and can help to make sense of things for them, so that the same mistakes don't happen again.
Right now, the particular focus is on helping the self-employed, to ensure that those who are eligible are able to tap into the available financial support through the Self-employment Income Support Scheme. Part of that eligibility is making sure that the 2018/19 tax returns have been submitted by 23 April. That is now less than a week away.
If the tax return is already late, that person is probably struggling and needs help. If you know of someone that needs the help of TaxAid and Tax Help for Older People, please let them know help is there and if they make the call.
THe helpline is 0345 120 3779 and it is open Monday to Friday, 9am to 5pm. They are taking calls about the eligibility for the government grant as well as tax queries and can help complete and submit tax returns for the individuals who need it.
