For many, tax planning is a task often left until the last minute. However, preparing and filing your tax return early offers significant advantages for business owners and individuals alike.
The 2023-24 tax year ended on 5 April 2024, and while the deadline for submission and payment remains 31 January 2025, acting early can give you peace of mind and financial clarity.
Why File Early?
Avoid Last-Minute Stress
Preparing your return early gives your accountant more time to ensure accuracy and address any complex issues without the eleventh-hour rush.
Financial Planning
By calculating your tax liability sooner, you can plan ahead, ensuring you have sufficient funds set aside to meet payment deadlines. This includes:
Balancing payments for 2023-24 tax liabilities
Preparing for the first payment on account for 2024-25
Addressing Capital Gains Tax payments, especially for residential property sales, which may require payment within 60 days of completion.
Quick Refunds
If you’re due a refund, filing early ensures you’ll receive it sooner, giving your cash flow an immediate boost.
