Self Assessment / Tax Return Required?

I used some drawdown funds to buy an annuity in this tax year 2023/24.

I have previously exceeded the LTA.

There was an increase in the value of the funds used to buy the annuity compared with its crystallised value.

Had I done this last tax year, 2022/23 there would have been an LTA charge of 25% on the difference and a tax return to confirm this had been paid would have been required.

Is a tax return needed this tax year when the LTA charge is zero?

What happens next tax year, 2024/25 - nothing as LTA no longer exists?
