Self-Assessment Accountant in Durham
Durham, the historic cathedral and university city, has an economy shaped by Durham University, a strong public-sector and professional presence, tourism around its World Heritage centre, and a busy independent business community. That gives the DH postcode a distinctive self-assessment market: self-employed professionals and consultants, university and public-sector staff with side income, a busy trades and small-business community, and a particularly strong student-let and HMO landlord market driven by the university's large student population. Many residents fall into self-assessment through a combination of PAYE work, freelance income and property.
Your Tax Help Accountants, HMRC-registered, handles complete self-assessment for Durham taxpayers. SA100 returns for the self-employed and freelancers, landlord and student-let property pages, dividends and the salary-dividend split for contractors, payments on account, MTD readiness and HMRC correspondence, all at a fixed monthly fee with same-day filing available near the deadline. Whatever your mix of income, we make your return accurate and keep your bill to what it should be.
💡 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 D lets a student house near Durham University, with around £22,000 of rental income across several tenants. He had been declaring the rent but claiming almost nothing, unaware of the finance-cost restriction on his mortgage interest or the full range of costs an HMO landlord can claim.
We prepared proper property pages, applied the 20 per cent finance-cost tax credit on his mortgage interest correctly, and claimed the costs he had missed: letting and management fees, repairs and redecoration between tenancies, landlord insurance, safety certificates and licensing, furniture replacement and mileage to the property.
His rental tax fell once the genuine costs and the interest credit were in, a refund came back on an amended year, and his record-keeping was set up cleanly for Making Tax Digital for landlords. He now files once a year for a fixed fee with the property handled correctly.
