Fine for late Self Assessment - For the year before I started my business?!

Hiya, can anyone help. I have been sent a fine for self assessment for the year ending 5 April 2022. I didn't need to submit a self assessment for that year as I didn't have a business until 07/05/2022. Which is the date I put on my 2022/2023 tax return as the date my business started. I have completed self assessment, filed my tax return and paid the tax for the year 2022/2023. Can someone help explain this to me? Do I have grounds to appeal for the 2021/2022 self assesment. Thanks

Hi,

If you don't meet the criteria for 2021 to 2022 you can contact our Self Assessment team by webchat to review this.
