SELF ASSESSMENT TAX RETURNS

Self Assessment is a system HM Revenue and Customs uses to collect Income Tax, deadlines and penalties apply.

You'll need to submit a tax return if, in the last tax year, you fall into a long list of categories and/or situations

How much tax you pay will depend on the Income Tax band you're in, with different rate's for Capital Gains Tax if you need to pay it.

If you're new to Self Assessment, you'll need to keep records (for example bank statements or receipts) so you can fill in your tax return correctly.

If you've been told to send a return:

If you get an email or letter from HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) telling you to send a return, you must send it - even if you don't have any tax to pay.

If you used to send a tax return but don't need to send one for the last tax year, you can contact HMRC to close your Self Assessment account.

You must also tell HMRC if you've stopped being self-employed.
