Amending Tax Return

Hi, I submitted my tax return a few weeks ago, but having spoken to an accountant I realised the advice I had previously been given was incorrect and need to make substantial changes to my return. How do I go about doing this? And what's the deadline for submitting them? Thank you!

Hi,

To amend your return, log on to your personal tax account, and click on the Self Assessment tile. You should be able to amend and update your return from where you initially filed it. You can correct a tax return within 12 months of the Self Assessment deadline for the year you filed. You can see more information here:

Thank you.

Hi, needed some advice, so the last 2 financial years i have done my returns via an accountant and this year i though id save money by doing it myself. And i guess i should’ve got my accountant to do it as ive now got an eye watering tax bill as ive declared my income way way more than i thought it was. I should’ve done Apr 23 to Apr 24. But i accidentally included income all the way up to this month in the calculation. Meaning i did 19 months worth instead of 12 months. Am i able to amend it simply online? Will i need to send in evidence as i will be putting in my actual amount of income? In case HMRC think im trying to lower it on purpose. Very anxious and confused. Thank you for any advice.

Hi,
There is no need to worry - you can amend your tax return by logging back into your Personal Tax Account and reopening the return via the Self Assessment section.

Good evening, so im in a panic, i have filed my return back in November 2023. So i did it in time. My worry is i did the return incorrectly (stupidly) and have a mortgage offer and accepted all in place based on those numbers because i did not realise. It’s not a huge difference but a difference either way, lapse in concentration as my dad sadly passed recently so because of dealing with his passing it’s all gone to a mix up. What do i do? In a panic as 31st of Jan is just round the corner! Please advise!
