To prepare workpapers, you want to use the following elements:
- A descriptive heading: It should include the client’s name, the workpaper’s purpose, and the date under examination.
- Indexing: Like a book, every workpaper has a unique page number showing its place in the audit file.
What documents do I need for my tax return UK?
What information will I need to fill in a Self Assessment tax return?

Do I need to keep paper records for HMRC?
There are no rules on how you must keep records. You can keep them on paper, digitally or as part of a software program (like book-keeping software). HMRC can charge you a penalty if your records are not accurate, complete and readable.
Can HMRC check your bank account UK?
Can HMRC check your bank account without your permission? HMRC has the power to check personal information about taxpayers they’re investigating by issuing a ‘third party notice’ to banks and other institutions.
Why am I not paying tax in my new job UK?
One possible error is receiving too much tax-free pay in the month in which you change jobs. HMRC may not catch up with this until the end of the tax year, when you could find you owe some tax. When you change jobs, make sure that you hand in your P45 to your new employer. You may also need to contact HMRC.
What happens if you don’t do your tax return UK?
You’ll get a penalty if you need to send a tax return and you miss the deadline for submitting it or paying your bill. You’ll pay a late filing penalty of £100 if your tax return is up to 3 months late. You’ll have to pay more if it’s later, or if you pay your tax bill late. You’ll be charged interest on late payments.
