Feeling slightly scared. Am about to do my first paid tax return and the guy I'm doing it for did part of the year in Employment and part Self Employment. He was emergency taxed on the employment side of things and has not as yet claimed it back. I'm not sure how to deal with this and any advice would be appreciated.
Was hoping my first one would be straight forward Self Employed but it is never the way.
Panic not, it is still very straightforward! You just need to complete the 'Employment' pages of the tax return as well as the 'self employed' pages. You just need to fill in how much your client earnt from employment and how much tax he paid.
Just to add, I don't know what software you use but if you use a program such as Tax Calc (or similar) then there is a questionnaire that guides you through the whole form.
Also, don't forget to check what other income your client has received outside of employment and self employment (eg bank interest, dividends, income from property etc).
You will need to fill in the employment page on the tax return with figures from his P60. And put Self Employment figures on the self employment pages.
I do clients tax returns online. Takes a while to set up as you need codes from HMRC etc, but works out all the tax/NI to pay/refund etc for you.
