Did you submit a 19/20 tax return on time?

Did you submit a 19/20 tax return on time?   It wasn't on time but submitted in the new "window" that was given to everyone back in 2020, was in, in that time frame.  Sorry I unsure how to reply to messages, hope this works

The old window isn't relevant.

Did you submit your tax return before March 3rd 2021?

You may receive a letter from HMRC seeking confirmation of certain facts.

Was your self emp profit more than your employment income for the 19/20 tax year?  If not, you'll be excluded under the 50-50 rule.

Hi, I started self-employment in the same tax year as you and submitted my tax return after Christmas. I got a letter from HMRC to confirm my eligibility by sending ID and proof of trading to them via a Dropbox link w/c 15/03. The process is complicated and drawn out. I know they are not writing to everyone and I think you will get a letter/email from them inviting you to apply from mid April. Hope you manage to get on the list. It's been tough for us newly self-employed...
