UK Tax Return

[rahul2011]

Hi

I have been working in the UK since August 2006 on a work permit and am planning to apply for HSMP now. I have the required number of points and all the documents except a tax return.

My tax is payed through PAYE and I am am not required to file a tax return so I never filed for it.

Can someone please tell me how can I obtain a tax return for last year and how long would it take? Do I have to give any reasons to HMRC??

Thanks,
Rahul

Your P60 is your proof of income tax paid.
The system is different here. You do not file a return unless you have to do Self assessment

Hi SYH

Thanks a lot for the reply.

It seems like we must do "exactly as they have asked"... and they have specifically asked for a tax return. Do you think it's worth the risk?

Thanks again
Rahul

Are they not referring to the other country's tax systems who require individuals to file tax returns?

[rahul2011]

No they haven't said that anywhere... So I guess it has to be sent?

Ask your empoyer. There is a legal aobligation that Thay have to provide U with P60 each year (in April). U even do not need to ask abotu this U should automatically receive this. As this is evidence that U have paid your tax.

Extract from the guidelines:

In the external HSMP1 and FLR(HSMP) guidance notes, application forms and in these instructions, the term ‘tax return’ may denote any of the following:
• a document generated by a tax authority, which shows details of declarable taxable income on which tax has been paid or is to be paid in a tax year (eg tax refund letter or demand);
• a document generated by an employer for the purposes of an official return to a tax authority, showing details of earnings on which tax has been paid in a tax year (eg Psix0 in the UK);
• a document generated by an individual/business/company for the purposes of an official return to a tax authority, showing details of earnings on which tax has been paid/to be paid in a tax year that has been 'approved/registered/stamped' by the tax authority (this is particularly relevant to some overseas tax systems eg SARAL in India).

I believe a P60 by itself should be good enough.

Cheers.
