    So, if I understand correctly, since I am Self-employed sole-trader ('yes' to the first question and 'no' to all the others), I still need to file a tax return.

    As you answered Yes to the first question, you have to complete a tax return.

    I had actually missed the Yes answer you gave for the 1st question.
    I'll call up on Monday to find out more about it.

    Thank you for replies.

    There is no need for you to call as you have no option.

    Isn't Self-Assessment the same as filing tax returns but NOT on paper?
    Has anyone received one of these leaflet?
    What does this mean? What's going to happen?

    Self-Assessment is the name of the tax system, so you complete either a paper Self Assessment tax return or file it online.

    Presumably everyone on self assessment got one of these leaflets ?

    Personally as a pensioner I am happy to self assess, rather than risk getting my notice of coding so mucked about that I cannot understand it.
