what triggers tax returns?
I have never filled in one, my dad used to but does not any more....
Anything other than PAYE employment and a bank account apparently. In the US you have to do a return no matter what.
yaYY i am PAYE
Do you get any perks'? Private medical? Lunch allowance? Travel allowance? Clothing allowance?
Any of these may trigger them sending you a tax return.
They sent me one for three years, which I never filled in (Before self assessment).
In the end I phoned them up and asked them why they kept sending them as I was PAYE, didn't own any shares and didn't have any investments. They told me to write that on the return forms and return them. I did this, sent all three back in the same envelope and I never heard from them again. :-/
It seems quite arbitrary to whom they will send a tax return to.
