Can I do my own Tax Return?

Of course you can if you can work your way around the HMRC online Self Assessment new software.

Remember in 2015/16 you only had 1 allowance!

For 2016/17 you will have a choice of 3 – Personal, Dividend and Interest.

In addition, if you are married you may be able to utilise a portion of your spouse’s unused Personal Allowances

Still with me?

Money into property, remember that you can only claim interest allowance at 20% not 40% or 45%; plus your Wear and Tear allowance will reduce over the next 4 years being replaced slowly by an enhancement allowance.

So yes you can do your Self Assessment Tax Return if you understand the “New Simplified Forms” (Osbourne’s claim, not mine).
