If the inland revenue have not sent me a tax return, what should I do?

Most people whose income is wholly dealt with by PAYE through one tax office will not need to complete a return. Employees earning above a specified amount will be sent a return to complete.

Unless there is a change in your personal circumstances, you do not need to worry.

You should keep your tax office informed about any changes that affect your tax position, however, so that the correct tax is deducted. Changes which could be relevant include:

• birth of a child
• receipt of a pension
• substantial change in income
• receipt of supplementary income

You must tell the tax office if you receive any income which is not taxable. When you contact your tax office you need to tell them your tax reference and your national insurance number, both of which are on your tax coding notice.
