Filing Income Tax Returns and PAYE

Dear All,

Can I ask you a question regarding filing of IT while on PAYE please?

Previously I used to file my income tax returns because of my salary bracket.

Then I joined a company taking a salary cut in DEC 2003 and therefore got onto the PAYE scheme . And I'm on the PAYE scheme now too, since then..

I Joined PAYE scheme Dec 2003 and filed my returns for Apr 2003 to Apr

2004 in Jul 2004.

Sometime after that i was sent a SA-210 short tax return form and I think I didn't send this in because I was already on PAYE. I might have clarified this with IR on the phone though, I honestly can't remember.

Now I got a call today from the IR saying I need to file my returns for year ending 2005.

Do I have to do this? I thought I didn't have to, because as I said I've been on PAYE since end of 2003. Please help, Thanks D

The rule is simple, if you get a return you must complete it and send it back (by the due date).

If you think that you no longer qualify for a return every year you will have to ask them not to send them in future, they may decide to gnore this request.

For added flavour, they might send you a letter saying "We don't want you fill in a return" and follow it up 3 months later with a return....

The IR and & I have been exchanging the same 500 quid refund and demand on alternate years for the past 5 years - next January it's their turn to pay me....

Yes

That is irrelevant. E.g. you may be on PAYE on one job, but also be a self employed taxi driver and a landlord. HMR&C dont know this unless they ask you. Being on PAYE does not absolve you from completing a return if asked to do so.

You're always allowed to ask HMRC. Having a bad memory doesn't have to be combined with a lack of initiative.

No, you can refuse on the grounds that your lack of knowledge absolves you from HMRC advising you what to do.

I'm only joking - if you're asked to submit the return just do it immediately before your memory takes over.
