HMRC recently sent an document to taxpayers reminding them to submit their tax returns online.
If you have previously submitted a paper self-assessment tax return to HMRC, you may want to change it to digital channels.
Basically, online channels are usually faster and easier to use.
Who needs to submit a self-assessment tax return online?
If you have received a reminder from HMRC and have previously submitted a paper tax return, you should pay extra attention.
Individual traders or those who earn additional income from property investment can submit their tax returns online.
Using the online service, you can not only view your previous information, but also check and print your tax information.
When should you not use online filing?
You cannot use online filing if you are a partner or a non-UK resident living outside the UK.
If you receive income from a trust, you need to contact HMRC for further support.
How to file a tax return online?
If you meet the conditions for online filing, you should make the transition as soon as possible.
First, prepare your unique taxpayer reference (UTR), a 10-digit number that can be found in your previous tax documents.
You can also find this number in your personal tax account or the HMRC app.
Secondly, you need to log in with your Government Gateway user ID and password.
Once you are logged in, you can save your progress in real-time for later checking and submission.
If you encounter any problems during submission, our professional team is available to assist you at any time.
