Self Assessment Notification

With savings interest increasing, I calculated my non ISA savings interest for the last financial year to see whether I was approaching the requirement for self assessment. My interest was in the region of £ 5000 and so well below the £ 10000. However I logged into Gateway for the first time and found that I am registered for Self Assessment with a unique identification number. In the past I have never been asked to complete a form, never received a penalty for not doing so and have received a tax code notification. Is it normal to be registered in this way or is it something that I should be concerned about ?

Hi Kneeboot,
If you have been registered for Self Assessment automatically, it could be that you've fulfilled other criteria for being registered - i.e. taxable income of over £150,000. We can check this for you, and cancel the requst for the return if it's not necessary - contact us by webchat or phone via:
Self Assessment: general enquiries.
Thank you.
