Frequently Asked Questions for Employed Individuals
Q1: How do I know if I’m on the wrong tax code?
If your tax code is incorrect, you may be paying too much or too little tax. Common signs include unexpected changes in take-home pay, emergency tax codes (e.g., BR or 0T), or receiving multiple tax code notices from HMRC. We can review your tax code and help secure any refunds if needed.
Q2: Do I need to file a self assessment tax return as an employee?
Most employees don’t need to file a tax return, but you will if you:
Earn over £100,000 per year.
Receive income from property, dividends, or investments.
Claim work expenses over £2,500.
Have additional untaxed income from freelancing or consulting.
We handle self assessment filings to ensure you stay compliant and minimise tax owed.
Q3: Can I claim tax relief on work-related expenses?
Yes, HMRC allows tax relief on expenses related to your job, including:
Uniforms and specialist work clothing.
Travel for work (excluding commuting).
Professional memberships and subscriptions.
We help you submit claims to HMRC efficiently.
Q4: How can I reduce my tax bill as a high earner?
If you earn over £100,000, you may lose your Personal Allowance, increasing your tax rate. We provide strategic tax planning, such as pension contributions and charitable donations, to help manage your tax liability.
