Do you need to file a tax return?

The majority of people do not need to file a Self Assessment tax return because they are taxed at source in their employment, via PAYE. But there are a few reasons you may need to complete a tax return:

You

  • are self-employed as a sole trader, and earned more than £1,000
  • are a landlord with rental income over £2,500
  • made over £12,000 in profit from investments or other capital disposals
  • received more than £10,000 from savings interest or dividends
  • have income over £100,000
  • received child benefit and are a higher rate tax payer
  • have foreign income
  • want to claim a tax refund (CIS, EIS, SEIS, donations)
  • live abroad and had income from the UK
  • are in a partnership
  • are a minister of any religion
  • have been told by HMRC to submit one

If you are unsure, please check online here.

If you need a tax return but do not have a unique tax reference (UTR), you must register for Self Assessment by 05/10/20.

 

Deadlines

For the majority of individuals, the filing deadline is 31/01/2021.

However if you need to complete a paper form (due to exceptions) this needs to be completed by 31/10/20.

And if you wish your tax liability to be collected via your PAYE coding (if less than £3,000) then this needs to be submitted before we close for Christmas in December 2020.
