October Newsletter

Important: Remember to file your self-assessment before the end of January 2024, and it’s always better to do this before Christmas. Those who file their return before 30 December may also have the option of paying any tax owed through their PAYE tax code thereby spreading the cost.

Filing early also means that if customers owe money, they have plenty of time to explore which of the payment options available is best for them.

Here’s a weird statistic – did you know that 2700 taxpayers filed their tax returns on Christmas day in 2022? (not even Annja is that keen😊).

Unfortunately, Anlo will be closed on Christmas day, but if you just want to eat your Christmas dinner in peace, send us your information and we will get it done quickly and accurately 😊

Esi in Edinburgh

It was lovely having Esmerelda visit the Anlo Financial Solutions Edinburgh office in September. Lots of strategy meetings happened (honest!) and lots and lots of walking through the beautiful city.

If you did not know, Esmerelda runs the Anlo Financial Solutions Johannesburg office and Annja runs the Anlo Financial Solutions Edinburgh office.

Both offices provide accounting services to SMEs, helping businesses owners focus on what they do best, and leave the accounting and compliance work to us. We also do tax returns (i.e., self-assessment tax returns in the UK) for individuals and liaise with the tax authorities on your behalf giving you the peace of mind that your tax affairs are in order and that you get the best tax position. You can find our UK operation here, and our South Africa office here.

We offer a free initial consultation from both offices, you can contact either Annja or Esmerelda depending your location.

We developed an application called AnloAssist that helps individuals understand if they are tax resident in the UK, and what their tax filing requirements are.

The app is completely free and there is an option to send your answers in pdf form to your email address. The aim is to help people like Annja, who moved to the UK, understand when to file a self-assessment and when they become tax resident.

App of the Month

Emma Finance. We really like this app because it gives you a clear picture of your personal financial situation and encourages you to budget for your goals.
