In short

Use request templates and automated reminders to collect P60s, dividend vouchers, rental statements, and bank interest records.

Definition: Self assessment document checklist is the process of requesting, collecting, tracking, and storing client proof documents — built for tax teams, personal tax accountants, sole practitioners, and small UK practices who need visibility without replacing professional judgement.

How UK firms use this workflow

Typical firm scenario

For Self Assessment season, a tax team can request P60s, dividend vouchers, rental income evidence, pension contributions, bank interest statements, and expense proof from every client — with one missing-items view instead of scattered inboxes.

Example: P60 requests

A UK firm adds "P60 requests" to the client checklist, sends a secure upload link, and reviews missing items from one dashboard instead of reopening email threads.

Example: Dividend records

A UK firm adds "Dividend records" to the client checklist, sends a secure upload link, and reviews missing items from one dashboard instead of reopening email threads.
