Reporting A Minor Change In Outgoings To Hmrc

[Coppit]

Perhaps it's me but it seems I have to fill in a tax return to tell HMRC that the alimony I pay to my separated wife has been increased. My daughter wrote HMRC last July about a minor change and had no response, so I phoned. After being quizzed about why I was phoning I was told there was nobody available - and HMRC rang off. What next?

Yes you need to - because you have been told so
"no - mrs mopp on the internet [ you now the one whose handle is 'stupid cow' ] said I didnt so I didnt fill one out" will earn you a £250 fine

The deadline was jan 31st so get on wivvit

I think you may get tax relief on the sum ( clearly I dont pay alimony)

Try not to be an Eeyore on tax - it will end up costing you.

hey can I tell you something - I am an OAP and my tax form for the year ending 6th April 2018 is just about ready to submit - yes not a typo - three weeks early ! Yayaaaay!
