Who must send a tax return? When should they be submitted?
You must submit a tax return if you were:
- Self Employed as a 'sole trader' and earned more than £1000 (Before taking off anything you can claim on relief)
- a partner in a business partnership
You will not ordinarily submit a return if you are employed or solely claiming a pension. However you may need to if you have other sources of income such as:
- Renting out properties
- tips or commission
- income from savings, investments or dividends
- foreign income
