The Best Way to Prepare for a Self-assessment Tax Return I’ve been filing self-assessment tax returns for over a decade, and I can tell you one thing: the earlier you start, the smoother it gets. Waiting until the last minute is a recipe for stress, mistakes, and sometimes even fines. I’ve seen clients in Cambridge who left it all to the last week of panic when they couldn’t find receipts, and late filings can cost hundreds in penalties. Starting early isn’t just smart—it’s necessary if you want a clean, stress-free tax year.
