The annual self-assessment tax return can be stressful for small business owners. If you’re a sole trader or limited company director, FreeAgent could save you time, reduce mistakes and relieve some stress as you prepare for the 31st January deadline. The software calculates your self-assessment liability and prepares your tax return in the background as you go about your business.

  • FreeAgent can auto-populate part of the Self Employment form.
  • Lets sole traders and limited company directors file their tax return directly to HMRC.
  • Provides a breakdown of your tax liability without having to contact HMRC.
