write to HMRC self assessment at:

Should I not write to:

Customer Compliance Complaints
HM Revenue and Customs
BX9 2AB
United Kingdom

As I said in my earlier post, write a detailed explanatory letter in the first instance to HMRC self assessment, and will raise a complaint if the matter is not resolved in a month.

The rules didn't say that income should be over £1,000, just that you must have traded. Because come people can trade and make a loss.

That is true, but the figure of £1,000 is turnover, not income. I pointed out on another thread that in circumstances where 2019/20 turnover was nil, it may be hard to argue a trade was taking place.

Ah, i get you. Turnover and profit  .....

I only traded for a short while in 2019-2020 as was quiet ill in that year (still am from that time, but those are different threads). So figures are for literally 3 months.

You might be best seeking professional advice, as you need to put forward your case to show it in the best light.  The most important thing is to emphasise the continuity of the trade, and explain the minimal figures.

I sent in a paper tax return for 2019-2020 with a letter explaining how i got to it. I've received a letter from them saying "we've updated our records", however this isn't saying anything as their records already had what i sent (from the proof i enclosed).
