The HMRC said I've to list all benifits I recieve. That's PIP, Child Tax Credit, CB ESA and DLA. And my private pension (which I have already declared). I'm just going to send them in  

PIP, Child Tax Credit and DLA are NOT taxable income and will not need to go on your tax return.

List them on what?

You only declare taxable income on your Self Assessment return.

PIP, Child Tax Credit and DLA (disability living allowance?) aren't taxable.

If you include those things on your return you will make them taxable unnecessarily.

I think what OP means is that she has listed them on a letter to HMRC asking for a SA tax return to be issued. I think she has spoken to them on the phone asking what she needs to do.

That’s the way I read it too. It may be that HMRC will then decide there is no need for OP to complete a return.

So contributions based ESA and my private pension income only on my tax return? I recieved a p60 a few months ago, right enough. I'm still waiting on one from The Strathclyde Pension fund too. 

Plus your rental income and expenses.

If you don't have a UTR yet how did you deal with this for 2018:19?

But yes, you usually need to complete a Self Assessment return for rental income.

Please forgive me, everyone but you have all been amazing. I cant thank u enough. Can you advise if this sounds correct? 
HMRC have taxed us £740 for period 2018 - 2019. We were advised to split it to avoid all coming out if Brian's wage and make it 50/50 between us. We both own the house so it's fair. 
I've been advised to write into HMRC with details of taxable income (which thanks to you I know know what that includes) so they can split it legally and I get my own UTR number. Does this sound correct to you all? 

There is no way of knowing if this correct or not. We do not have the details of the full taxable income of yourself and and Brian.

Seeing as how you are so anxious concerning this matter maybe you should engage the services of an accountant to complete your tax returns for the 2018/19 and the 2019/20 year?

There is only so much help a forum can give you on this matter given your inexperience in taxation matters.

This is the first year we have done a tax return. It's not been let out too long now. 

How come you owed £740 on it for 2018:19 then
