Self-Assessment is an assessment process HM Revenue
Self Assessment Tax
Taxes are usually taken automatically from pensions,
wages, and savings. Businesses and individuals who earn other income have to
declare it in the form of a tax return.
The concept behind Self-assessment is that you must complete your tax
return every year if you are required to do so and pay any tax due in that tax
year. In addition, you must notify HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC) when you
feel you are required to file an income tax return.
If you fill out the Self-Assessment tax return, you must include every
penny of your tax-deductible income as well as all capital gains. Additionally,
you take advantage of any tax allowances or tax reliefs you have the right to
on your tax return.
You can send the tax return to HMRC in paper form or via the internet.
The information in the tax return will be used to calculate your tax obligation.
This is known as Self-Assessment.
You must file a tax return.
Tax returns are mandatory. You have to submit a
return if, during the final fiscal year (May 6 to April 5,) you were:
- self-employed as a "sole trader', and earned over PS1,000
(before subtracting any tax relief that you could
claim tax relief for)
- A partner in an enterprise partnership
It is not necessary to file a tax return if all
your source of income is your pension or wages. However, you may have to file
one if you have other income that is not taxed, like:
- the money earned from renting out the property
- Tips and commissions
- Income from investments, savings, and dividends
- foreign income
