NooBHA's advice might be right, but this is the advice I like :)

I've just looked at my 'messages' section online. There are a few messages from various years saying when I've got to fill my return by. There was a message for one year with a small fine for being late. There's never been a message about a missing return. The only reason I know it's supposedly...

They'll never take me alive.

Maybe roughly. I was expecting one of our finance experts here to know the answer, as some have probably dealt with this sort of thing before. Also, in posting what I've now read up, the experts here could tell me why that's not the case, if there's something I've missed. From reading online, as...

I would have handed it in at the branch in Brighton. I expect I'd have taken a photo copy of it before handing it in, but I don't know where that is now.

So not if it just smells a bit musty then? Indeed there are. If this isn't something they do for your average Joe, then I won't be hearing from them. Good advice, I shall.

Just noted as missing. They haven't contacted me, I just saw it on my online account. Yeah, I don't really want to go poking about. I never have any trouble with my accounts, and they're pretty straightforward with no creative accounting. It's annoying to read they can go back 20 bloody years...

It's that long ago I had to think - but no, I haven't moved since. Thanks for the advice.

Thanks. I don't earn enough to be suspicious :lol:

I can't imagine I didn't. I did paper returns every year (until I started doing them online every year). But online it says the return for that year hasn't been completed. I'm not getting penalties. I can't be sure whether I've ever had a penalty or not, because some years in the past I've had...

Basically, yes. It was 11 years ago.

I can't, I no longer have the documents for that year.

I certainly haven't. But they may not agree. Here are the online notes for Discovery: It would be attributable to failure to notify:

Further reading suggests it's 20 years, which is irritating, as I don't even have all my documents any more.

That's not what I've seen. I've read that if 'someone has been visibly careless (submitting tax returns with mistakes), HMRC can journey back 6 years'. Well if they claim I didn't file a tax return at all, that would certainly be visibly careless. But also I've read 'For (alleged) deliberate...

I do self assessment tax returns. My online account says that I didn't complete a return some years ago. That's not correct, but I don't have a copy of the return, as it was done on paper back then and it's a long time ago. I'm just wondering if at some point they're going to hassle me for a...
