Stopping Self-Assessment

[kloofnek]

I no longer need to do a Self-Assessment Tax Return,how do I tell the Inland Revenue this?Or do I just stop doing it.

[factor-fiction]

I don't know but I would just ring them or look on their website

[kloofnek]

Looked at website,cannot find anything there.
I am not sure, but think I did tell them somewhere ,but today have received a letter telling me I have so much to pay by Jan.12.Actually it doesn`t make sense at all,I P.A.Y.E.on my employment and no longer receive any money from abroad,which was the reason I did SA in the first place.
I remember once someone I spoke to at the Inland Revenue who told me that these things go automatically sent out (regarding yet another mix up.)and to ignore it.
Too many departments,so each one does not know what info.each has.!!!

Simply write to your tax office and tell them that you have no sources of income apart from your PAYE income. Or complete the SA one last time with all zeros in it (apart from the PAYE earned income).

Is there not a box to tick on the self assessment form to say I am no longer self employed? Sure I remember doing that

[kloofnek]

Have now found a letter from HMRC dated July 2011 saying they will not be sending out any more Tax Return forms.
But cannot understand what this amount they expect me to pay is,as my return is filled in just as you say pink-kittens.
Honestly,had no end of confusion with the Self-Assessment,because one person when I ring up, says,"oh these things are sent out automatically,ignore them" then another is going on in some jargon which I don`t understand.
No wonder they got things wrong that time a couple years ago...think they still have!!!!!

you can email; snasil mail; telephone; send them a message in a bottle; a request on Family Favourites or a telepathic communication, none of those will work, you will forever be plagued with self-assessment forms and reminders and possibly even get fined for not filling one in/sending it by the deadline. Basically, your life will not be tax exempt from now on.

Oh thanks Dotty,that sure makes me feel better!!!!!

I definately have a letter stating they will no longer be sending me an SA form out,in otherwords I no longer need to do one.,I must have told someone when onto them..made so many of them that one forgets...
will have to get onto them...yet again....!!!!

I am not self-employed as they seem to think I was...surely they could see that as I am P.A.Y E...
