You do not need to send a Self Assessment tax return
Based on your answers, you do not need to send a return for 2023 to 2024.
You do not need to confirm to HMRC that you will not be sending a return - unless they asked you to send one.
You can choose to send a return (for example, to claim some allowances or income tax reliefs) – find out more about sending a return for any other reason.
If HMRC asked you to send a return
If HMRC wrote to you asking you to send a return but you believe you no longer need to, you’ll need to contact them and explain this. For example, if you have stopped working for yourself, HMRC might not be aware – you’ll need to tell them so they can update their records.
Tell HMRC you no longer need to send a tax return.
If you had untaxed income
You must tell HMRC if you had:
- more than £2,000 income from share dividends
- between £1,000 and £2,500 in any other untaxed income, such as commission or money from renting out a property
You do not need to send a return for this. You can either:
- check your Income Tax and go to ‘Tell us about a change’
- call HMRC
