UC as self employed on a tax return or not?

Hi everyone.

I am self employed and claimed UC during covid part way through the tax year that I need to do my self assessment tax return on. 

Do I have to add the money I received by UC on the tax return at any point? I've read it's not taxable but I'm unsure if I need to add this into my figures as earnings or not.

Kind regards

You do not need to declare Universal Credit on a tax return because, as you say, it is not taxable income.
