Create self assessment (personal) tax returns (SA100)
If you are a sole trader and looking to create self assessment tax returns, you must create a proprietor relationship before continuing.
- From the Clients menu, select Clients list.
- Change the client list view to either Active clients or a custom view that includes all relevant clients.
- From the Personal tax returns widget on the client dashboard, select Start a new tax return (or Start new if there are existing returns).
- Select the tax Year from the list. The earliest year supported is 2012.
- Choose the required tax return Type:
- SA100 (default)
- R40
- Your reference defaults to the client ID but can be changed.
- Select Create to start the tax return process.
- If a previous tax return already exists, then applicable data is rolled forward from the previous record and the Data Input tab populated.
If completing a tax return for a sole trader, the Self employmentsection is automatically added to new tax returns.
- Select Add a new section to fill out the tax return. Else, if sections have been automatically added, edit each in turn and adjust as required.
- When complete, submit the tax return.

Optional tasks
You can save and return to the tax return at any time before submission:
- Add an attachment
- Create and send a tax questionnaire (to request information from your client)
- View detailed report to produce a PDF of the data entered so far

After submission, you must first cancel the original tax return before amending and resubmitting.
