Tax penalty with HMRC (self-assessment)

edd83

Hello,

I am in a weird situation and I cannot get out of it.
HMRC keep sending me penalties after I write them a letter explaining my situation, anyway I want to get out of this situation. I owe them more than £600 of penalty but this needs to be over.
I need help with my self assessment, I thought I did not need to do it because I left the UK 1st Feb 2021, I am now living in France, and I do not know what to declare or not.

This is what I should declare for 2020-2021? I have filled overdue self-assessment with Crunch but I am not sure I filled it correctly…
Someone would be able to tell me what number I should keep in mind to tell people in Crunch/HMRC?
Would I need to do a self-assessment for 2021-2022 even if I left the UK?!

If you’ve already filled in a Self Assessment questionnaire and paid for us to help with this, then it would be best to get in contact with us at selfassessment@crunch.co.uk for further assistance on how it was filed and getting it checked.

2021/22 would still need to be declared via your Self Assessment even if you’ve moved out of the country, as HMRC needs to know of any income earned between the 6th April 2021 - 5th April 2022. If you didn’t earn any income, they’ll still need to be notified of this for their records.

Self Assessment UTR should be shown on HMRC letters and can also be retrieved from HMRC if not.
Our ‘Am I a UK tax resident?’ article should be able to clear this up for you.
3-6. The answers should also be automatically populated based on your Crunch data if you’ve been using Crunch for your business accounts.

It could also be beneficial to speak to an accountant. This can be booked through our ‘Ask an accountant’ service - Alexandra
