Tax Returns - How long to keep records for?

This refers to self assessment annual tax returns. Have a folder full of the past completed forms. Want to get rid of unwanted paperwork. How far back/years must i keep copies for?
Problem with having access to internet is that i get asked by many to solve their problems :( Well at least i learn something on the way :D

    Hello,

    I dont know if this helps but HMRC keep records for 6 years before destroying them, so I would say the same for taxpayers.

    Regards
