Self Assessment (UK Only)

A new style of income tax return introduced for the 1996/1997 tax year. If you are self-employed, or receive an income which is un-taxed at source, you will need to register with the Inland Revenue so that the relevant self assessment forms can be sent to you. The idea of self assessment is to allow you to calculate your own income tax.
