Time delay after submitting SA1 Form?

alanfp

I've just submitted my SA1 Form, but still can't see an option to fill in my tax return. 

Is there a time delay before I can actually start entering the relevant figures into my tax return? If so, will HMRC advise me when I can start completing the return?
Or maybe I'm looking in the wrong place - where can I find the "Fill in your tax return HERE" button or link?

(I have had my UTR for several years, so I'm not waiting for that).

No idea on time for this but if you log in to your personal tax account can you see a box headed Self Assessment?  The tax return will be in there.

Do you think the 31 January deadline is relevant for filing the return?

I think 31st Jan is relevant. Since you ask the question though, do you have a different view?

Have you been issued with a return or notice to file a return?

You can't be late filing something you haven't been asked to file.

Payments are a different issue, you would still usually need to pay any tax due by 31 January 2026 to avoid interest charges.

According to HMRC website I need to file by 31st Jan because of my financial circumstances.

What date was the notice to file the return issued?

Are you going by a general website page or are you looking at your personal tax account? You haven't said that you have found a self assessment box on that but if you have that will have a bit that says You have to file the return by X.

Dazed is trying to elicit whether you have a longer period to file - eg 3 months from being asked.

But people on here can only make suggestions - the only way you will know for sure is by asking HMRC.
