Do I need to complete a self-assessment tax return?

You are required to file a self-assessment tax return if you are self-employed, a company director, have income from property, have income or gains above certain thresholds not taxed at source, have claimed child benefit and your income exceeds the relevant threshold, or have other taxable income not covered by PAYE. If you are unsure whether you need to file, we can confirm your position quickly. Failing to file when required carries automatic penalties.
