A Self Assessment Tax Return is a personal not company responsibility and there is a catch-all situation regarding the completion of a return.
In the first place, HMRC does not automatically supply a Self Assessment Tax Return for completion; it is an individual’s responsibility to ascertain whether a return is required. Certainly anyone receiving dividend payments or any change is personal circumstances should expect to complete a return.
In the second place, if a Self Assessment Tax Return is received, it must be completed and supplied to HMRC. HMRC will notify you in writing if you are no longer required to complete a Return. However, if your personal circumstances change, it is your responsibility to check with HMRC whether you should be submitting a return.
The majority of Returns are now filed on line. Currently the filing deadlines are set as:
- An original paper copy by 31st October.
- On-line filing deadline is 31st January.
- Regardless of whether paper or on line filing is submitted, HMRC must receive payment for any outstanding tax by 31st January.
