Oh yeah, I'm just going to declare it, it's easier. Even though it really is money for nothing... Which is always nice, let's be honest.
I was considering getting an accountant, but after much consideration I don't think I'll bother. I'll blow my own trumpet - I read law at university, if I can do that and understand it, self assessment ain't no biggie. I've done it once before and it's straight forward enough. Plus I already keep a day by day account of my takings, plus expenses. If you have your information to hand, and it's accurate, and reflects your bank statement, there's not really an issue nor a reason for an accountant, in my view.
