Self-Assessment Accountant in Aberdeen
Aberdeen is unlike any other self-assessment market in the UK. As the energy capital of Europe, the Granite City is built around the oil and gas industry, increasingly the energy transition into offshore wind, hydrogen and decommissioning, and it carries an unusually large population of day-rate offshore contractors, drilling and subsea specialists, engineering consultants and project professionals working through their own limited companies or on self-employed terms. These are frequently high earners with complex returns: rotation patterns, overseas assignments and foreign tax, dividends from a personal company, the personal-allowance taper above £100,000, and the high-income child benefit charge. Alongside the energy sector sit the harbour and fishing trades, the universities, and a substantial professional-services and landlord community across the AB postcodes.
Your Tax Help Accountants, HMRC-registered, handles complete self-assessment for Aberdeen's contractors and high earners. SA100 returns with dividends and the salary-dividend split, foreign income and double-tax relief on overseas rotations, the £100k allowance taper and child benefit charge, pension planning to claw allowances back, and full HMRC correspondence, all at a fixed monthly fee. We understand the rhythm of offshore work and the tax traps that come with a strong day rate, and we make sure you keep what you legitimately can.
💡 As an HMRC-registered agent, we deal with HMRC directly on your behalf. Authorisation in place, returns filed, refunds chased, compliance letters handled. You only ever hear from us, never from HMRC.

📅 Get Your Free Self-Assessment ReviewReal Client Story
Client A is a subsea engineer based in Aberdeen, working offshore rotations on a strong day rate through his own limited company, with around £140,000 of income for the year and a partner claiming child benefit. He had been filing his own personal return and taking dividends fairly arbitrarily, with no awareness that he had slipped into the personal-allowance taper above £100,000 and was triggering the full high-income child benefit charge, paying an effective marginal rate of around 60 per cent on a slice of his income.
We modelled the position properly. A well-timed employer pension contribution from his company brought his adjusted net income back below £100,000, which restored his personal allowance, lifted him out of the 60 per cent band on that slice and removed the child benefit charge entirely, while the contribution itself was relieved. We also reviewed an overseas assignment for double-tax relief that his previous returns had handled incorrectly.
The combined saving for the year ran comfortably into five figures, far more than our fee, and his pension was better funded as a result. He now lets us handle the personal return and the company together, and we review the salary, dividend and pension plan before each year-end so the planning happens in time rather than at the deadline.
