Re-registering for self assessment?

Due to treatment for cancer I do not have to do a self assessment for the 2022-2023 tax year, but I have started to do some self employed work since 12th Sept 2023. Do I need to re-register/reactivate now, or do I just send a self assessment some time between 6th April 2024 and 31st January 2025?

Hi,
If your Self Assessment record was closed you would need to register again to reopen your record to allow you to submit the 2023/24 tax return. 
Thank you.

I still have an HMRC account (using app or online) and a UTR number, but cannot find if and where to re-register. I have found a form for registering for the first time. Do I use that? Or is there a way that I have not found yet?

Thank you. 

 

I have same case as John, I had submitted self-assessment by post last year, and I want to submit by online this year ( 2022-2023 ). I want to reactivate my self assessment in my online account, cannot find if and where to reactivate it. Your last reply didn't help because HRMC website online as me "login and register/reactive the self assessment". HRMC website direct me to the login, but after I login the gateway, didn't find any place to reactive it. Pls help

Hi,

If you cannot see the Self Assessment option on your personal tax account, and you did not send a return online last year, you may need to register for Self Assessment again, you will still ultimately use your current UTR to file your next return, though.

You can find more information here: 

File your Self Assessment tax return online

If you still have issues filing online you will need to contact our online services team:

Thank you.

Hello, I have a similar case. I was told that I needed to re-activate the tax return year for 2022-2023 as I was owed tax rebate. They told me on the phone to fill in a form and send it by post, and I did, but it has been 2 months my account is not yet activated, can you please advise what should I do? How do I know when it will be re-activated? Thank you.

I am experiencing difficulties in accessing my UTR number due to my account being locked. Kindly provide assistance in resolving this matter.
