HMRC - Are you receiving a Pension?

Just received this letter from HMRC.  There are three links to excellent Self Assessment videos.

Are you receiving a pension?


Dear customer,

If you’re in receipt of a pension and have a Self Assessment tax return to complete for 2019-20, we can help you get it right.

You’ll still need to submit a return even if you don’t owe any tax. If you’ve already sent us your return and paid, thank you. You don’t need to do anything else.

You have until 31‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌ ‌January 2021 to submit your tax return and to pay any tax you may owe, but why wait? File your return now with our online help and support.

We have a series of short videos on HMRC’s YouTube channel to help you with Self Assessment including:

If you can’t pay in full

We know that many of our customers are facing financial difficulties due to the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. If you can’t pay in full by 31‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌ ‌January 2021, go to GOV‌.UK and search 'HMRC payment plan'. You may be able to set up an affordable plan where you can pay over time in instalments.

Yours sincerely

Their job isn’t solely about helping you keep on top of your incomings and outgoings; it’s also about making you ‘fit for finance’ – in other words, helping position you as an attractive prospect to lenders or investors. They do this in myriad ways – from increasing profitability by helping you run your business more efficiently, to improving cashflow by advising on, and helping you implement, processes that keep cash in your business (automated payment collections, for example, or credit control).
