Self-Assessment Accountant in Peckham
Peckham is one of south London's most active and rapidly gentrifying creative-industries self-assessment markets, with a very substantial self-employed artist, gallerist, printmaker and creative-industries community across SE15 (Peckham has become one of London's most active contemporary art scenes alongside Hackney and Brixton), the substantial Bussey Building and Copeland Park creative-quarter cluster, high-earning employees in creative industries, tech and media commuting via the Overground and Thameslink, and a substantial mix of self-employed designers, photographers, artists, gallery operators and creative-industries freelancers. Many Peckham taxpayers fall into the self-assessment net for several reasons at once: self-employed artist or creative income, PAYE plus freelance creative side-income, rental income from substantially-gentrified SE15 properties, and the complex hobby-versus-trade boundary for many emerging artists.
Your Tax Help Accountants, HMRC-registered, handles complete self-assessment for Peckham taxpayers across SE15. SA100 tax returns, payments on account, allowable expense reviews, MTD readiness and HMRC correspondence, all at a fixed monthly fee with same-day filing available when the 31 January deadline is closing in.

📅 Get Your Free Self-Assessment ReviewReal Client Story
Client NN is a self-employed contemporary artist and printmaker working from a Peckham studio with gallery representation, commission work, print editions and occasional teaching based in Peckham with around £42,000 of self-employed artist income split across gallery sales (net of typical 40-50 per cent gallery commission), commission fees, print edition sales, and occasional teaching at south London art schools. When they came to us they were filing her own returns through HMRC's portal, never quite sure how to report the gallery-commission split (she had been reporting net-of-commission income, which was correct, but had no clear documentation), missing the substantial materials, studio rent and exhibition costs, and uncertain whether her sporadic teaching income should be reported as employment or self-employment. Their previous filings had been functional but not optimised, and they had never had a proper conversation about which expenses they could legitimately claim or whether their payments on account reflected their current income level.
We reviewed their last two filed returns line by line, identified expenses that should have been claimed but were not (mileage, working from home proportion, professional subscriptions, phone and broadband proportion, equipment under the annual investment allowance), prepared an amended return for the prior year recovering tax already overpaid, and rebuilt the current-year position with payments on account properly calibrated to expected income. We also walked them through what records HMRC genuinely expects to see, and set them up on a simple bookkeeping flow that takes minutes a week to maintain.
Outcome: ongoing tax saving of around £2,400 a year through proper expense capture and payment-on-account calibration, a refund recovered from the amended prior-year return, complete HMRC correspondence now handled through us as authorised agents, and no more January cash flow surprises. The client moved to our fixed monthly fee arrangement and no longer worries about deadlines, penalties, or whether they are claiming everything they can.
