    Thanks all, I phoned HMRC and the staff member I spoke too said they would pull the file and process the return, so I should receive the assessment this month :)
    I do wonder how many others might be affected though
    In response to some of the queries above: 
    Thanks for that link - my income comes from a variety of sources, so I would have to work my way through the full SA110 Self Calculation form to estimate my own tax rather than being able to use one of those tools. 
    I wonder if the op made payments on account for that year.
    No payments on account for 2020/21. I had made some EIS investments in 19/20 and they took me under the limit required to have to payments on account.
    If you file online, HMRC will calculate the amount due, the difference being you will only need to wait about 30 seconds rather than several weeks/months.
    Yes, though as I say above, this wasn't previously an option for me - I had to do a paper return due to the rules.
