The main reason will normally be to claim a relief, such as pension contributions or donations to charity.<\/p>\n<p>If a tax return is not submitted, it will be more important than ever to check your tax code, which will typically be used to collect tax on taxable benefits and savings income.<\/p>\n<p>To check if a self-assessment tax return is required, use HMRC\u2019s online tool found <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gov.uk\/check-if-you-need-tax-return\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">here<\/a><\/strong><\/span>.<\/p>\n<p>Alternatively, our <a href=\"https:\/\/devstagesite.co.uk\/smhgroup\/chartered-accountants\/\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Yorkshire and Derbyshire based Accounting &#038; Business Advisory<\/strong><\/span><\/a> can assist on <strong>0114 266 4432<\/strong> or <a href=\"mailto:info@smh.group\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>info@smh.group<\/strong><\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There is a long list of reasons why it is necessary to complete a self-assessment tax return, but PAYE taxpayers are generally exempt from the requirement.
