Anyone Else Received A Self Assessment Demand Form Today

[HairyArsedBloke]

How come?? Are you with one of those dodgy management co's???!!!!

I'm non-resident in the UK.

[gingerjedi]

Not me. I've never filled one in EVER.



Special message for Hector:

Nor me until recently, this will be the 3rd SA form I've filled out this year.

As a director I knew I should have been filling them in so I handed myself in to the tax feds.

Some years ago I made the mistake - and it's apparently quite a big one - of being remiss about my SA forms. One day the doorbell rang and there was a chap from the Inland Revenue wanting to know what I was going to do about it

He was quite nice about it really, even though I kept him standing on the doorstep for our entire conversation out of a vague fear that he might impound the cat or something. I ended up devoting quite a lot of time to four years' worth of forms, even though I'd only been operating a company for the first two of those years

End result: I didn't owe a penny in outstanding tax, but it cost me a few hundred quid in penalties. That's a mistake I won't make again

Girly did our SA forms yesterday - Hector owes me money!

[cojak]

Perfectly normal, I got mine today as did a few 100,000 other people.

Yep, perfectly normal.

Even Mr C (who's a permie) got one a few years back.

[cojak]

You're screwed.

Ooh, mean!

(made me giggle, tho'...)

You're very keen.
I usually have to wait a month or two to receive other tax related earnings forms (such as statement showing dividends receive on shares etc), so I complete mine around the end of May.

I never had to do these until I went Ltd. I assume all Ltd co directors have to complete one every year.

[Peoplesoft bloke]

It's called luck of the draw.

Some people they think are worth investigating, some people they randomly investigate and some people they never bother with.

Indeed - Hector wrote to me saying I didn't need to do Self Assesment any more shortly after I started MyCo - I have to keep insisting.

Just after I started MyCo, I got a letter from Hector stating that they had "reviewed my situation and decided that I no longer needed to do SA".

I was going to call them, but the next day I received another letter which stated that they had "reviewed my situation and decided that I should now complete SA".

have you never earnt enough to pay 40% tax before you started your Ltd?

Nope. I was on £27k when I left permie-land 2.5 years ago.
