Completed online self-assessment form missing some entries 11 November 2022 at 8:21AM in Cutting tax 4 replies 95 views

I've finalised my online return and saved a version to check - it looks just like the paper version.

A few of the boxes I'm sure I will have selected no for - such as re. Trust income - don't have a cross in the yes or no box. I don't want to delete my return and start again and wondered if anyone has experienced the same with this years' return?

With thanks in advance.

If you have selected ‘No’ with regard to trust income and the trust section does not appear later in the form I wouldn’t worry. 

Haven’t come across any problems myself. 

What other examples do you have?

Yeah, some of those boxes don't show as ticked "no". It's been like that for years - don't worry about it

Many thanks both, incredibly helpful. Other fields not showing as yes or no are Residence, remittance basis, and Additional information. As these areas are not appearing online for completion I will proceed, content that I will have selected no for them when I started the form!

You cannot complete an online return without purchasing specialist software where the non-residence section is required. Also true for ministers of religion.
