2022 - 2023 is the first time I have done my taxes, after realizing that my accountant was not taking into account my expenses. I need to submit amendments for the following years: 2020 – 2021; and 2019 – 2020 The tax office used by my accountant is: Chapel Wharf Area Trinity Bridge House 2Dearmans Place Salford M3 5BS Do I send the amendments to this address? What explanation do I need to add to the amendment? Thank you. Shirmel Duggins

Thank you. As clock was running down to file, through my third party software, I was able to do an amendment, filled in the SA109 and resubmit the full 2022-2023 tax form. HMRC emailed me a receipt showing that the full tax form SA!00 and SA109 was received. Do I still need to submit in paper form?

I did not submit my SA109 with my 2022-2023 self-assessment on Friday - January 26th, 2024 - first time doing my taxes. I have already received a receipt from HMRC informing me that my self assessment was accepted. In order to submit the SA109, I will need to resubmit the SA100, will this be a problem? Thank you

I submitted the above on 26/01/2024. However, I was not able to attach a signature on the online form, only a date. I have received a receipt from HMRC letting me know that my tax assessment was received. My question is: would the unsigned self assessment be a problem or can I resubmit a signed version (I would have to wait until I speak to the support staff for the third party software company) to find out how to attach the signature.

Thank you for your reply. I

This is my first time completing my self assessment form and I am petrified of making any mistake in claiming. My property have been undergoing renovations and will be ready for renting within the next 2 months:. My questions are, can I claim for the following whilst my property was empty: 1. Buildings Insurance 2. Council Tax I had to purchase the following in order to ready the flat for renting: 1. Gas Safety Certificate and Annual Gas Contract 2. Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) 3. I have a UK phone that is used to receive texts from contractors - cost is 30 pounds per month 6. Curtain Rods for bedrooms and Front Room 7. Curtains for Bedrooms and Front Room 8. Shower Curtain Rod and Shower Curtain 9. Accessories for Bathroom including Bathroom Cabinet 10. Entryway Coat Hooks 11. Door Hangers for Bathroom and Bedrooms 12. Insulation of Loft

As a non resident landlord, I have decided to complete my self assessment taxes this year, instead of continuing with my accountant. My property have been empty for the past 3 years and will be back on the market by March 2024. Before purchasing the software recommended by HMRC for non-resident landlords, I would appreciate advice from board members on their choice. Thanks

Thank you for replying. The tax was actually paid over 2 years ago. I will need to look through my papers and work on it.

I worked for the Civil Service for a large number of years which enabled me to receive a pension. Since I was no longer in the UK, I completely forgot that the Civil Service pension as payable at aged 60. After speaking to friend one day who mentioned that she was now receiving her pension, I got in touch with Civil Service pensions and was told that my pension was payable at age 60, I was 63 at the time. I received my pension, plus the back 3 years that I had not claimed. My question is, was this back payments taxable? If I had received the pension at aged 60, no taxes would have been paid? I have been sending in self assessment through my account. When he completed my taxes for that year, where my taxes should have been zero during the previous 3 years, I was made to pay taxes. Should he offset the 3 year back payments against those zero years?

I think that Mondays and Tuesdays are so busy with everyone trying to get through, that it becomes frustrating. For me, I find that the best time to call HMRC is after 3 pm Wednesday thru Friday.
