Penalty Notice for missing Tax Return

Hi there, I am so frustrated to receive a penalty notice of GBP100 for not filing the self-assessmenrt return for 2022-2023. I have tried to file the tax return for said period on May 2024, and the HMRC website told me not to do anything as "you have no more Income Tax to pay for that year. There is no need for you to contact us about this" Then i tried to appeal via phone, webchat or the online system which gave me no answer at all. Should I need to pay the penalty first and wait for the refund? Hope anyone here can help. Daniel

Hi,

You can check if you need to file a Self Assessment here:

Check if you need to send a Self Assessment tax return

If after checking you meet the criteria then you will need to file the outstanding tax return beore an appeal would be reviewed. After filing the tax return you can appeal. You can see guidance here:

Appeal a Self Assessment penalty for late filing or late payment

Thank you.
