Hi Folks

I hope you're all well. Please tell me if I'm being really think here - but what is the difference between final accounts and self assessment?
 
Thanks

Hi,

While final accounts for a sole trader would be reportable on the SA103 form, Self Assessment would include property, employment, partnership, dividend, savings etc income and profits so you would have to take into consideration many factors to be able to calculate and submit the Self Assessment tax return.

I hope this helps!

Thanks.  When I'm offering my bookkeeping services to the general public, I would need to submit a self assessment for a self employed person (client) rather than a SA103?

Hi,

You can offer your services to a sole trader as of :
bookkeeping to trial balance

draw final accounts for sole tradersfor this you must hold minimum of AICB

when you have the final accounts you have to submit a tax return which consist of SA100 + supplemetary pages such as SA103 for self employment SA105 Property or SA102 employments pages

To be able to submit the tax return you must have the Self Assessment Taxation exam done

I hope this helps,

Thanks for you reply.

Regarding final accounts for a sole trader, I presume you mean the P & L account and balance sheet?
