Back then there the >10k divis self assessment category was invented by HMRC and had no basis in law, so could be ignored (arguably). I suppose if there is no other way of paying divi tax, then self assessment it is.

This depends entirely on the wife's other earnings but if she has no other earnings, £10k of dividends will fall within her personal allowance (and there's also the £5k nil rate band on top of that for dividends).
TLDR; if there's no tax due on the dividends because it's all within the personal allowance and/or the dividend nil rate band, there's no need to notify HMRC and file a tax return.
Even if she has dividend income in excess of this and has tax to pay, she may still be able to ask HMRC to reclaim the tax through her tax code, it depends on how much the tax due is.

Originally posted by Fred Bloggs View PostOP, if you want to do a DIY Self Assessment return, I recommend you take a serious look at a software package called TaxCalc. It costs around GBP 25 (for up to 6 returns in that year) and is worth every penny. If you follow the software prompts and use the inbuilt help system along with the HMRC guidelines you'll do your own tax return and your partner's very easily. TaxCalc also advise you by phone or email on filling the form(s) in (they will not, however, answer any questions about tax) and they are very good. I used it myself for the first time in 16/17 and I am certain to continue using it for as long as I need to do a tax return ever year. HTH.

Originally posted by Mark2009 View PostI work through my own ltd company signed off by accountant and all payments made to HMRC, my accountant set my wife up as a share holder only and 1 week ago we got the self assessment form through the post.
I spoke to the accountant and he said you can do it yourself online I have asked him to do my wifes accounts but he has not contacted me via e.mail.
With dividends and wages under 12000
Thanks
Mark
