Why did I get a self assesment tax form when I've been employed for over a year?

    How recently have they received this return or notice to file?

    If it's not an error but has been received very recently it may have an extended deadline. It will say on the notice.

    If it is the first issue of the return and it was issued after 31/10/14 then they will get 3 months to complete the return from the date on the front of the form/date of the notice to file.

    Does anyone know why have I been sent a self assesment tax form when I have been employed by the council since October 2013?

    I was previously on ESA for approx 2 years.

    Note: posted on behalf of a friend

    I got forced to do self assessment because there was a small amount of tax underpaid from a previous year that for some reason they didn't add to my tax code (as they had done previously).

    Another common reason is receiving child benefit and earning more than £50k pa.
