Hi
If your son ceased Self Employment in January 2023, he will have been due to file a tax return for the 22/23 tax year.
This will have been due by 31/01/2024 - if you have just received notification of penalties for an overdue return, it will probably relate to the 22/23 tax year.
If your son cannot contact us by phone or webchat to discuss this, he can write to us at HM Revenue & Customs, Benton Park View, Newcastle Upon Tyne, NE98 1ZZ.
You can contact us by wechat or phone for general advice at
Self Assessment: general enquiries - if you would like to discuss specifics regarding your son's record, he can confirm this authority by writing to us at the address given.
Thank you
