Just browsing the on line self assessment form and notice the word optional a lot !

For example, cutting and pasting directly..



Untaxed UK interest etc (amounts which have not been taxed). Enter total amount: (Optional)
Feudal Britain needs land reform. 70% of the land is "owned" by 1 % of the population and at least 50% is unregistered (inherited by landed gentry). Thats why your slave box costs so much..

    It's only optional in the sense that you don't have to enter an amount if there's nothing to enter. I.e. as opposed to having to enter a zero in every box.

    But in the pre-amble to constructing the return you will have selected perhaps the savings,dividend income,rental income sections thus indicating you have something to declare and yet they are apparently saying its optional to input a figure !

  • You're overthinking things.

    Yes you have tailored your return but the interest section has several boxes, not all of which might be relevant to you.
