Bank Wizard introduced to your Self Assessment Returns

HMRC has introduced a wizard that will validate the bank account details you complete online as part of your Self Assessment return. The wizard will check that the bank sort code is valid and that the account number is entered in a correct format relating to that sort code.

If we do this for you, then please ensure we have your latest bank details. If you complete your own return, then please note the details are now being validated. Of course, if we can help then please get in touch.

The Marriage Allowance lets you transfer £1,060 of your Personal Allowance to your husband, wife or civil partner. This reduces their tax by up to £212. You can get Marriage Allowance if both:

  • the partner’s income is between £10,601 and £42,385
