Self-assessment: Can't enter zero for turnover

Hi,

I've a question about self-assessment - it may well be a stupid one but I hope someone can help.

I registered as self-employed a few years back and so last January filled out my first online tax return. All fine.

I'm now filling out a return for the 07-08 tax year but in that time my self-employment didn't earn anything - that is my turnover was £0.00. I am also in full-time employment by another employer and have filled out my sa online. I've filled in the section about my full-time employment using the appropriate info from my P60 but now it comes to the section on self-employment I don't know what to do as I can't enter £0.00 for turnover - the form won't allow it.

Does anyone know what I should do? As I didn't earn anything through self-employment should I not even mention the fact that I'm registered as self-employed and just fill out the info for my full-time employment?

Hope that makes sense and someone can help!

  • I believe I've answered my own question - although you can't enter 0.00 on the form you can just leave the box blank and proceed.
