As an employee you tend to meet all your responsibilities to the UK tax regime using the PAYE system, but there may be circumstances that mean you need to look at your tax position.
There can be instances when submitting a self-assessment tax return can be the best move for reducing your tax liability or because you are obliged to under His Majesty’s Revenue and Customs (HMRC) rules. This might apply where you are employed and:
- You are self-employed or a partner in a partnership
- You have large amounts of savings or investment income
- You have untaxed savings or investment income
- You own land or property that is being let
- Your household receives Child Benefit and you have income in excess of £60,000
- You have income from overseas
- You have sold or given an asset away (such as a holiday home or some shares)
- You have lived or worked abroad or are not domiciled in the UK
Even if some of these activities do not generate a profit (such as rental properties or self-employment), completing a tax return may be compulsory. If a tax return is not required, voluntarily completing one can be beneficial as it could lower your tax bill.
