Screen-Sector Single-Year Late Filing

For Cardiff screen-sector freelancers (BBC Cymru Wales, S4C, ITV Cymru, Wolf Studios, independent productions) with one year overdue, the filing covers: PAYE shoot days from each production payroll (RTI captures these); self-employed prep / post / development work; loan-out company distributions if applicable; royalties or residual payments; allowable business expenses (camera kit, editing software, training, travel between productions, business proportion of home-office costs).

Cathays / Roath HMO Landlord Single-Year Filing

For Cathays / Roath / Plasnewydd HMO landlords with one year overdue, filing covers: gross rental income, allowable expenses (agent fees, repairs, insurance, mortgage interest at 20% credit only post-2020-21, Rent Smart Wales registration fee, Article 4 / additional licensing fees where applicable). Article 4 HMO planning constraints in central Cardiff affect council enforcement separately, not the SA filing itself.

HMRC operates a Welsh-language service. Penalty notices, enquiry letters, and other correspondence can be issued in Welsh on request. Welsh-speaking matched accountants are available; indicate language preference on the matching form.
