For self-assessment, you'll need records of income, expenses, receipts, bank statements, and relevant employment details (e.g., P60s/P45s). Additional documents may be required based on your circumstances. For VAT, we’ll need sales and purchase invoices, VAT receipts, and any adjustments. We always provide a checklist!
