Sorry, we can only answer HMRC questions on this forum.

Hi,

As we would need access to your records to answer your query, you will need to contact our Self Assessment team for advice.

Self Assessment: general enquiries

Thank you.

Hi,

If you have registered for a National Insurance number then how this has been noted would be the information we would require. If not, how will your employer be noting you on their systems, will they be using a first name/surname? If so, you should use the same format as that so when they provide us your pay and tax information it will link up. You can see information here:

Apply for a National Insurance number

Thank you.

Hi,

If you contact our Income Tax team we will be able to cancel the cheque and arrange  to re-issue it as applicable.

Hi,

If you need to complete a tax return and have not sent one before, the deadline to notify us is 5th October. So if you started your self employment in 2024 to 2025 you must notify us of your need to complete a Self Assessement tax return by 5 October 2025. You can do this by registering for Self Assessment. You can find more detailed information on Self Assessment here: 

Self Assessment: detailed information

Please note, if you complete a paper return, this must be done by 31 October 2025 but if you choose to complete the return online the deadline will be 31 January 2026. 

You will also need to pay the tax you owe by 31 January 2026.

You can view the different ways in which you can pay the additional tax you owe here:

Hi fourj,

If the person(s) who have bestowed a gift continues to use that asset it in the 7 years before they die it is seen as a 'gift with reservation of benefit'. For further details on this please see the guidance here:

Work out Inheritance Tax due on gifts

Thank you.

Hi,

If you are unable to update your details online please either contact our Income Tax team or your employer to update them on your behalf.

Hi,

It is possible to register for Self Assessment without a National Insurance number. This can be done here:

Check how to register for Self Assessment

Where there is employment or self employment a National Insurance number is required.

Thank you.

Hi,

There are no Income Tax implications on the receipt of a cash gift unless the cash gift generates interest or dividends. These would then potentially be subject to tax. You can see guidance here:

Tax on savings interest

Tax on dividends

You can also see a previous forum thread on this subject here:

Gift money and tax

Thank you.
