No reply to registration self assessment

With the increase in interest rates in previous tax year my bank interest exceeds 2000GBP and is less than 10000GBP. I registered for self assessment before 5 Oct and I have not received a reply, nor a UTR. Does the lack of reply mean HMRC decided I should not do self assessment or is it a an error or delay? I have called 03002003310 numerous times and get passed to different menus before HMRC hung up. Also query with the HMRC bot assistant provide superficial feedback on a spiral of inapplicable responses and menus. If I should do self assessment how do I register and get the UTR number. The deadline for registration has passed and the deadline for the declaration is 90 days away.

Hi,

If your bank interest is less then £10,000 then this will not be criteria for Self Assessment.

If you registered and a Self Assessment UTR has now been allocated you would need to contact HMRC to review if tax return is needed. You can check if you meet criteria here:

Check if you need to send a Self Assessment tax return

Self Assessment: general enquiries

If you do meet other Self Assessment criteria and the Self Assessment is issued late then you will have 3 months and a week to file the tax return before late filing penalties are due. 

Thank you.

My wife has made registration for self assessment (only due to bank interest exceeding 10,000 GBP in tax year 2023/24) several times (April, July, August and October). But no replies from HMRC have been obtained. What can my wife do?
