About the Course

The aim of this Workshop is to give therapists the tools and knowledge to be confident in their record keeping and to have the ability to do their own tax return.

Overview – a 3 hour course that will answer the following questions:

  • How, why and when to register as self employed?
  • What records to keep?
  • What is tax deductible and what does that even mean?
  • Do I need a business bank account?
  • Do I need an accountant?
  • What do I do with my receipts?
  • Clients pay cash – should I declare it?
  • How to fill in a Tax Return?
  • Overview of a simple Business Plan and how it can help you develop your business
  • Any other questions?
  • From April 2026 HMRC will be phasing out Tax Returns for some individuals and replacing them with Quarterly Assessments online. This CPD will incorporate an overview of those changes.

This is a very valuable course at an important time within the accounting world.


Reviews

Really enjoyed the course , Jennifer was engaging, presented it very well and very knowledgeable about the subject, really pleased to have attended the course
Joe C September 29, 2025
I really enjoyed the session, I plan to print the notes to give me a guide on what’s taxable, what’s not as well as the examples of tax calculations and NI. I also really liked the additional topic of the benefits of having a business plan and how to create that. Jennifer was easy to learn from and welcomed questions throughout. A really useful CPD, Thanks

“I successfully completed my tax return for the first time due to this CPD. No need to pay an accountant to do it in future. Many thanks for Jennifer”

“Thank you for making tax returns less scary”

“Everything was explained in simple terms”

“I really enjoyed Jennifer’s style of lecturing – so relaxed and informal”

“Jennifer clearly knows her stuff and presented it clearly and in such a way that took the fear factor out of a potentially complex and scary subject. I got just what I needed to make sure that there will be no nasty surprises at tax return time”

“It was really interesting and useful to understand the self assessment tax return and that there are only two figures HMRC are interested in!”

“It was very simple not complicated and actually finished feeling motivated and focused to get on with it”
