If my salary is £55k and my pension contributions are £6k deducted before tax making taxable income £49k do I need to do a tax return? A simple yes or no would be helpful. Thanks.

If I have calculated my net adjusted income to below the £50k threshold do I still have to fill in a self assessment form. Will HMRC be automatically aware of my pension contributions or do I need to tell them?

If you want to check if your application has been received try 0300 200 3100. The call was answered in minutes and after providing the relevant security qs it was confirmed that my application, sent 3 weeks previously, had been received.

Dear Sheila61 I feel your pain. If you are using an iphone or ipad to complete the form, forget it - it is impossible. I spoke to HMRC about this and was assured that the form would be sent in the post to me but of course nothing materialised. Eventually I had to complete mine on a borrowed laptop computer and it worked fine. Maybe HMRC could make it clear about what devices the form can cope with to save our nerve endings.

Hello, I understand that there is a 66 week wait to process any applications. I intend to apply but can you confirm what happens if I reach your state pension age before the application for Specified Adult Childcare Credits is processed?

Can you apply for two years on one application or do you have to do a separate application for each tax year? Thank you
