Self-assessment tax returns

A self-assessment tax return must be sent if in the last tax year (6 April to 5 April), you were:

• Self-employed as a ‘sole trader’ and earned more than £1,000
• A partner in a business partnership
• If you have any other untaxed income, such as money from renting out a property
