2024/25 Tax Return Help Before 31 January 2026 | Bidwell Accountancy

Posted on 1st January 2026

As the 31 January 2026 Self Assessment deadline approaches, many individuals and business owners are discovering that their accountant no longer has the capacity to take on new tax return work.

Across the UK, accountancy firms are reaching their limits well before January, meaning late movers are often left with few options — and an increasing risk of HMRC penalties and interest.

The good news is that Bidwell Accountancy still has the capacity to complete 2024/25 tax returns accurately and on time.

Why many accountants stop taking on tax returns before January

Completing a Self Assessment tax return involves much more than simply entering figures into HMRC’s system. A proper tax return requires:

Reviewing income from all sources

Checking allowable expenses and reliefs

Ensuring compliance with current HMRC rules

Submitting the return accurately and on time

As the deadline approaches, many firms close their books to protect service quality for existing clients. This often leaves individuals searching for an accountant at the last minute.
