Registering for self assessment form SA1

ANGLICANPAT

 SA 1    self assessment form . Using this form to get a UTR for a minor. It asks the normal  name , address,  NINO   , the tax yr the form is for  and a list of reasons to choose  from, for your filling in the form.(in this case its CGT) Last space asks to give any other reason for filling in .   Under that , it says  What date does this apply from ?         Finally you sign and date.   I cant find any notes for SA1  , and Im not sure what date the  'what date does this apply from ' refers to ? Anyone help please before I try ringing  HMRC?

Presumably it is the beginning of the tax year (6 April) in which the gain was made.

But  it already asked what tax yr the  form is for, at the beginning ?

It may just be relevant for the box above, "any other reason". I agree it is not obvious.

Thank you Jeremy.  It is a bit misleading isnt it , but I came to the same conclusion as you after 'sleeping on it' last night .
