  • Completing a self assessment tax return can be a stressful task. In todays video I'm covering some common entries and mistakes that often trigger HMRC tax investigations. I'll be using the 21/22 self assessment as an example.

A long time ago I had an unsuccesfull business and as preparation I attended half day course and purchased 30 pounds worth book. Within Your 15-minute video I gained more knowledge than from that course. And I am talking from a perspective of already having a bit of experience.

    You missed out ticking 'yes' to the question about whether you've used estimates in the figures in the tax return. If those estimates are not corrected by actual figures before the enquiry window closes, HMRC will start an enquiry into the estimates used.

  • @hairyferrit
    @hairyferrit Рік тому +8

    A significant number of HMRC enquiries are just random. Ticking "No" to any of those boxes at the start can also trigger an enquiry if HMRC are aware it should have been Yes. A review of the return is NOT an enquiry as HMRC are allowed to correct clear errors on the return such as adding up two boxes incorrectly.

Should notes on this change be entered in the White Space Notes or will having a Note be more likely or automatically initiate tax enquiry than no note at all, but with a big change (50%) in Property Income/Expenditure figures ?

    Question: for 2022/23 if taxable income is between £6725 and £11908 Class 2 is paid for me and I pay nothing and my pension record is full for that year. If I fall below £6725 I don't have to pay, but I do have to make a voluntary contribution of £162.80 if I want my record to be full (which is crazy). If I declare £6730 will that be a red flag to them as I have cleared the threshold by a fiver and saved money? If my receipts are over £6725 but my allowable expenses take it below, I am not obliged by the rules to claim those expenses am I?

      That makes sense. We're being pushed off WFTC and I can't see anyway of separating business income from our "own" money without creating a limited company. We make almost all our income at Christmas. It's not savings. We have to pay rent, rates and utilities on our workshop all year round. Our income and expenses are actually fairly predictable if you look at them annually. We've been doing this for 25+ years! It wouldn't be a problem to plan what we pay ourselves.

    General principle is not to take the piss - ie don't claim to live on a pittance or have a huge amount of expenses even if both are true. A lot of people fall foul of the latter. In terms of time, work, stress and often expense involved in a full investigation you're better off underdeclaring exes and paying a bit more to avoid being flagged. Unfair yes, but that's life.
    I got wildcat audited several years ago and it's not fun. If it happens to you, don't make my mistake - take someone along with you, even if it's just a friend, so you have a witness at the interviews. Some agents have a vindictive streak and see themselves as "tough cops"...

    Quick question for you, every year there is an allowance for capital gain, and I think the way it's explained on HMRC website is not 100% clear regarding what to do.
    If your capital gain is below that allowance you don't have to pay taxes but, do you have to declare it? Even if you are not required to do the tax return for other reasons, would that mean that whatever is your capital gain you will now have to submit a self assessment and if the amount you earned is below that allowance HRMC simply says... ok you are good

      If you're in self assessment and hmrc has sent you a notice that they expect you to file a return, you have to do regardless of your income. Now, being in self assessment doesn't necessarily means being self-employed. You can be paye and still be expected to file a return. But if you have self employment income, even if it is less than 12500 you 100% have to declare it because if you don't, the revenue has no other way of finding out. Hope it makes sense.

As you have just started earning that self employment would likely fall into the 22/23 tax year which doesn't finish until 5th April 2023 and the tax return wouldn't be due until 31 January 2024 so you have plenty of time to research. Check out the other videos on my channel because i have a full tutorial on both registering as self employed and completing the self assessment tax return.

      1. With the question "Did you incorrectly claim an amount of coronavirus support payment?" What do you do if you didn't claim any coronavirus support payments? It does not appear to be an optional question, so I assume you tick no, rather than just not ticking anything?
      2. On the final page just before you submit the return it says "I declare that I have included all coronavirus support payments that I have received" "You do not need to complete this box if your only support payments received were as a result of being furloughed as an employee". This box IS optional, so would I be correct in assuming if you did not receive any coronavirus support payments that you can ignore this question and not tick the box?

    HMRC are so short staffed they don't look at incomes under £100k. Because whatever they might recover would not pay for the extra work involved.

      You'll have to apply for self assessment. Then you fill in the employment section using your P60 for the relevant tax year and fill in the self employment section with the turnover from your UA-cam channel. The turnover is relevant to the 2022/23 tax year, which ends 5th April 2023.

      If you are a subcontractor and you already had 20% tax deducted as per your CIS statements, you will still need to submit a SA tax return and you can claim some of the paid tax back. If you need our help, just sends us an email to info@tax2u.co.uk and we can provide a competitive price and help you with your specific situation.

For example, I consider myself very lucky to come across this video, as I nearly submitted the thing, with answering NO to self employment, which obviously is wrong, since I still made some profit, but under 1000; as a matter of fact, I dont even see the point of the question anymore, since it is a MUST to declare anyway the income( be it even ZERO) from self income, so that the ALGORITHM😂😂😂😂 can succeed to bring out the amount of tax owed for both employment and self-employment... Or maybe I am wrong? How can something so simple become so confusing? And why? What is the purpose?

    Great video, thanks very much! I have subscribed! I have a couple of questions that I hope you will be able to answer:
    1. With the question "Did you incorrectly claim an amount of coronavirus support payment?" What do you do if you didn't claim any coronavirus support payments? It does not appear to be an optional question, so I assume you tick no, rather than just not ticking anything?
    2. On the final page just before you submit the return it says "I declare that I have included all coronavirus support payments that I have received" "You do not need to complete this box if your only support payments received were as a result of being furloughed as an employee". This box IS optional, so would I be correct in assuming if you did not receive any coronavirus support payments that you can ignore this question and not tick the box?
    Thanks for you help!!
