Most Writers’ Guild members have to submit an annual self-assessment tax return, and the final deadline for doing so is only a few days away – Tuesday 31 January 2012
You must file your return online by midnight on 31 January (you are already too late to send in a paper return). If you miss the deadline you will have to pay a £100 penalty even if you are only a day late and you have no tax to pay.
If you discover a last-minute tax query, as a Writers’ Guild member you have access to a free tax helpline operated by the Authors and Journalists Team at accountants HW Fisher & Company, who have many years’ experience of helping writers to minimise their tax liability.
Simply call 020 7874 7876 and quote “The Writers’ Guild”, or email your query (quoting “The Writers’ Guild” in the subject line) to Andrew Subramaniam on asubramaniam@hwfisher.co.uk or Barry Kernon bkernon@hwfisher.co.uk.
