As from 6th April 26 anyone who has income from self employment, rent from property etc or a combination that equates to a turnover of 50k or more (not profit) will have to file a tax return digitally, not paper! on approved software EVERY 3 months. Your financial year HAS to be the same as tax year otherwise you may pay tax twice on the overlapping end of year quarter, which yes you will get back eventually!…
