Short Form Tax Return

[Holohana]

Hi all,

I have received a short tax return to fill in and send back.

Anyone had one and know what the difference between a short one and a normal one.

Why would you get a short one, do you get a normal one as well ie twice the cost if the accountant fills it in etc?

Dont want to fill in if im going to have to fill a normal one in as well!

Thanks in advance all.

I rang tax office questioning it, they told me things are changing this year & instead of the usual APRIL,SEPTEMBER & 30TH JAN, to get the tax returns in,its changing to just the end of january!
:stupid:

If you file a paper return, it needs to be in by 31st October. The January deadline is now only for Electronic Filing.

The short return has been designed to make life simpler for people that do not have the requirements for a normal return. I don't deal with them myself as I do my stuff in proprietory tax software.

[/QUOTE] Ive got the ability and indeed have submitted normal returns for the last two years so any reason why i would get this instead? Something to worry about or simply speak to my tax office/accountant? I dont want to submit this at cost and then a normal one too! Cheers all.

I reckon its all a ploy to get everyone filing electronically so they will have some more info to lose:grouphug:

A short tax return is nothing to worry about, its just what it says ie shorter than the normal one.

If your tax is not complicated and turnover is below £15000 then the tax man sends you this.

It just misses out the bits that you would leave blank if you filled the full one out making it easier to fill in.

If you decided to expand and set people on and buy a fleet of vans then you would need to tell tax office and they would revert back to full return.

If you have ever filled your own returns in you will see that half the pages dont apply to you all they've done is cut that out.
