Stopping Self Assessment

Dear Admin, I received a message from HMRC telling me that I don't have to send a tax return after the year ended 5 April 2022 unless my financial circumstances change or HMRC tells me to. Does it mean I should not submit self-assessment for 2022-23 if my total income and capital gains remain below my personal allowance?

Hi,
If you do not meet the criteria then you do not need to complete a return:

Thank you.

Hi, I would like to know if I do not meet the criteria of self assessment but wrongly submit the SA1 form. What should I do? I’m the first year arrive UK and already pay tax thro PAYE. Thanks.

Hi, I have filed my tax return for 2022-23 and received a message from HMRC about stopping self assessment. However, there is no change to my employment situation and I should require to do self assessment for 2023-24. How should I reactivate my self assessment for 2023-24 and pay provisional tax in coming Jan 2024?

Dear Admin, I received a message from HMRC telling me that I don't have to send a tax return after the year ended 5 April 2023 and charged me penalty. However, I have used the service of SelfTax to submit the tax return to HMRC before 31st January, 2024. Anything I can do at this moment? Many Thanks
