Table of contents
Self Assessment is a system where you report your own income and calculate tax owed, common for freelancers, contractors, and anyone with income not fully captured through employer payroll. Instead of relying only on deductions at source, you file a return and pay any balance due.
\n
Who typically uses Self Assessment
\n
You may need to file if you are self-employed, have significant rental income, earn investment or crypto gains, or receive income from multiple countries. In the UK, HM Revenue and Customs runs Self Assessment; in Ireland, many self-employed people file with the Revenue Commissioners.
\n
What you report
\n
Returns usually include business or freelance profit, other income, allowable deductions, and tax already paid (for example via PAYE on part-time employment). Missing deadlines can lead to penalties, so mark key dates before tax season peaks.
\n
Staying ready year-round
\n
Separate business and personal money using dedicated business bank accounts or labeled Bank Accounts. Track expenses in bunq and export statements when you complete your Tax Return. bunq does not file taxes for you, use an accountant or official portals where required.
