Multiple Year Tax Returns in Bexley

If you have two or more years of unfiled Self Assessment at a DA1 to DA18 address, the three Bexley multi-year patterns we see most are CIS subcontractor reconstructions (years of construction-trade deductions un-credited), Elizabeth Line corridor BTL landlords (post-2022 buyers caught by the rental-income reporting threshold), and mixed PAYE / self-employed logistics workers with income drifting between bases.

We match you with vetted, HMRC-registered Bexley-experienced accountants who handle multi-year filings as standard casework, with all outstanding years filed as a coordinated submission to HMRC Stratford.

Why Bexley Multi-Year Cases Often Produce Refunds

Bexley has the highest owner-occupation rate in London (69%), 14.9% self-employment (above the England average), and a heavy concentration of CIS subcontractors in construction trades. The single most surprising fact about Bexley multi-year cases: they often produce refunds rather than bills, because CIS deductions taken at source by contractors (20% on verified, 30% on unverified) are usually higher than the actual tax due after allowable expenses.

A matched accountant requesting full HMRC CIS data under 64-8 and applying allowable expenses correctly per year typically reveals one of three multi-year outcomes:

  1. 1
    Refund position
    Common for CIS-only subcontractors with consistent 20% deductions and substantial allowable expenses (van, tools, work clothing, training, public liability insurance).
  2. 2
    Modest balancing payment
    Common for mixed-income workers (PAYE plus CIS plus side-trade) where total liability is roughly matched by withheld tax.
  3. 3
    Material balancing payment
    Common for landlord cases where rental income was unreported across multiple Section 24 phase-in years.

CIS Subcontractor Multi-Year Reconstruction

For Bexley construction-trade subcontractors with 3+ years unfiled, the reconstruction sequence:

  1. 1
    Request full CIS history from HMRC under 64-8
    HMRC holds every CIS deduction reported by every contractor you worked for, going back many years. The data request is one of the first steps under the matched accountant's authorisation.
  2. 2
    Reconcile contractor payments to bank deposits
    Net-of-CIS payments received reconciled against bank deposits to reconstruct gross invoicing per year.
  3. 3
    Apply allowable expenses per year
    Van (mileage at 45p / 25p per mile, or capital allowances), tools, work clothing, PPE, training, public liability insurance, accountancy fees, business proportion of mobile phone.
  4. 4
    File all years together with CIS deductions as tax credits
    Each year's tax due calculated; CIS deductions for that year applied as credit; net liability or refund per year established. Coordinated multi-year submission to HMRC Stratford.

Elizabeth Line BTL Landlord Multi-Year Cases

Elizabeth Line opening to Abbey Wood in May 2022 triggered a measurable wave of BTL purchases along the Abbey Wood, Belvedere, Slade Green, and Plumstead corridor. Many of these new landlords are first-time, did not realise rental income above 1,000 pounds requires SA, and now have 2-3 years unreported.

The matched accountant reconstructs rental income from letting-agent statements and bank deposits, applies Section 24 mortgage interest restriction (which has been at full 20% credit only since 2020-21, so post-2022 BTL acquisitions are squarely in the 100% credit regime), and files outstanding years. Voluntary disclosure before HMRC enquiry keeps penalties low.

Bexley multiple year returns: Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

HMRC holds the full CIS deduction record reported by every contractor you worked for. The matched accountant requests this under the 64-8 authorisation, which gives them the authoritative source for tax-already-paid figures. Bank statements provide the net-of-CIS receipts side. Together these reconstruct gross invoicing per year reliably even if your own records are incomplete.
