Estimated tax payments
Four payments for income without tax taken off: freelance work, rent, interest, a pension.
The four payments
Each payment covers the income of a part of the year. They are not equal quarters, which is why people miss them.

We send the amount by 1 April.
15 Jun

We check it against your bookkeeping so far.
15 Jan

US dates for calendar-year filers (sample).
Talk it through first
A first meeting takes 30 minutes, at the office or by video, and costs nothing. Bring your last return and any letters.
