Declaring benefits on self assessment form

langtonhighway

Hi, does anyone know if benefits (ESA, UC etc) need to be included on a self assessment form. If half the year has been on benefits then half in self employment, do they need to be listed as income?

Ta muchly:)

If they are taxable benefits yes.

Universal Credit isn't taxable but Employment and Support Allowance often is.

You should have received details of any taxable benefit from DWP. If you ended your claim part way through the tax year then you would normally get a P45 with the info on from DWP.

Here's a link to the Gov Self-Assessment forms (download the "how to fill in your tax return" and go to page TRG 6 and section "UK pensions, annuities, and other state benefits received"

Hopefully this might help
