This is why this site is wonderful at times!
Googled calling HMRC from abroad, found the number, got through straight away.
Spoke to the very helpful woman and turns out for the tax year I did earn over £100k with the redundancy payment. So I've just got to swallow the £100 fine as it's 100%...
Cheers.
As expected......
You do not need to send a Self Assessment tax return
Based on your answers, you do not need to send a return for 2020 to 2021
This can be the only reason I can think I might have been asked to do one. The previous year I was made redundant and received a sizable payout. However I did also go four months without earning a bean post the aforementioned redundancy so I'm also not sure on that.
All knowing NSC looking for some advice.
I am not nor have I ever been self employed. Pay my tax via PAYE.
This year I got a letter from HMRC saying I needed to complete a self assessment. I guess stupidly I ignored for the reasons above.
Today got a £100 penalty from them for not completing...
