  • Fill in Return Online

    Hi, I did paper Self Assessment Return for Y2022/2023. It is first time I did Self Assessment Return in UK. And I opened Government Gateway Account already. Q1. For the Y2023/2024, I would like to do the Self Assessment Return online. Is it just fill in it under "Personal Account"? And do I need the activation code? What is activation code for? And how do I get it? Q2. For the Y2022/2023, my company is using PAYE and deducted the National Insurance. Is it I suppose to be able to view the record on line? And where can I see the record. It is because I cannot see it from online. Thanks
