- Made a capital gain over your annual allowance
- Employment income that is not taxed under PAYE.
- Dividend income and further tax to pay on that income.
- Any other untaxed income or are liable to tax at higher rates.
You must also notify HMRC if you have to report that you are subject to the High Income Child Benefit Charge.
If you fail to make such notification and have unpaid tax as at 31 January following the end of the tax year, penalties will be due unless you have Reasonable excuse for the failure. You can register with HMRC for self-assessment here.

Wouldn’t it be great and think how much TIME it would SAVE you if someone:
- READ all the latest tax news, case decisions, new legislation and articles in tax and then summarised them for you?
- Only alerted you to things that are RELEVANT to you?
How about if that someone also:
- Updated those summaries in REAL TIME for you
- ADDED examples, planning points, toolkits and calculators, and
- Linked all that information together and also provided you with CPD?
