How do I change my self assessment tax date. It has always been 1st November to 31st October. But I am unsure of how to change this is the self assessment submission.

Good day to you, @ukpaulgannon.

Allow me to share some information about the Self-Assessment submission.

QuickBooks Self-Employed (QBSE) is in compliance with the HMRC’s Self-Assessment tax period. Thus, the option to change the Self-Assessment tax date in QBSE is not available.

As a way around, I’d suggest contacting the HMRC. There, they’ll be able to advise you on the best action to take in changing your Self-Assessment tax date.

Additionally, I’m adding these articles that you can use to learn more about managing your Self-Assessment tax in QBSE:

• How to file and submit Self-Assessment tax returns online.
• Self-Assessment tax returns.

You can always leave a reply if you have other questions using QuickBooks to manage your self-employed taxes. I'll be around to assist you. Keep safe!

Hi, sorry you misunderstand me, I have always used these dates for my income  tax returns. 

But with quickbooks how do I change the date on there. Since I believe it is using 1st April to March. 

Hi, has Quickbooks made this feature available yet? My self-employed tear runs 1st June to 31st May. I don't want to actually submit to HMRC through quickbooks, I just want an easy accounting process to share with my accountant. Is it feasible to amend my financial start/end date? Thanks

Hi, Judith.

The feature of amending the self-assessment tax date is not yet available for now. As mentioned by JasroV, the system or QBSE is compliant with the HMRC’s Self-Assessment tax period. However, you can always reach out to your agency for further advice in case you need some changes to the dates.

Rest assured our engineers are working nonstop to enhance the product for the customer needs. For now, you may want to visit our blog site to stay current with the latest QuickBooks news and updates.

Hi Judith

I have the same problem, our tax year is 1st April to 31st March, so not being able to change the tax period is quite a big problem for me. If I had known this prior to opting for QB I would of gone elsewhere which I may have to do so as I have 2 companies that I do accounts for and both are the same.

Very disappointing!!
