Frequently Asked Questions
General queries by our clients while filing Self Assessment Tax Return are answered here.
What special provisions do non-residents need to follow when filing Self Assessment tax returns?
As a non-resident of the UK, you are taxed only on your UK-sourced income. There are no special provisions to follow, but you must declare all income received from within the UK. Additionally, all non-residents may not qualify for the personal allowance, unless there is an agreement between your home country and the UK.
Do permanent residents need to declare NRL forms?
NRL forms are relevant only to non-resident landlords (NRLs) in the UK. You are considered a non-resident landlord if you live outside the UK for more than six months. If you are a permanent UK resident, you do not need to declare NRL forms unless you spend more than six months outside the UK.
What documents do I need to provide for my Self Assessment?
For your Self Assessment Tax Return, you must declare all income earned during the tax year.
- UK Residents – Declare income from worldwide sources.
- Non-UK Residents – Declare only UK income.
The specific documents required depend on your income sources.
Can I deduct the full mortgage interest paid on my buy-to-let property?
No, since April 2020, landlords cannot deduct full mortgage interest as an expense. Instead, a basic rate relief is provided. The relief is calculated at 20% of the lower of:
- Finance costs (costs not deducted from rental income in the current year)
- Property business profits (profits after accounting for carried-forward losses)
- Adjusted total income (total income minus the personal allowance)
Can I use payslips if my employer cannot provide P60 or P45 documents for Self Assessment?
Yes, you can use your payslips if you do not have a P60 or P45. The P60 reflects your total annual employment income and the P45 is issued when you leave a company mid-year. If neither is available, the amount in your payslips can be submitted, and the income shown will be declared in your tax return.

What is a UTR, and do I need one for my Self-Assessment?
A Unique Taxpayer Reference (UTR) is a 10-digit number issued by HMRC that identifies your Self-Assessment record. You need a UTR if you are filing a Self-Assessment tax return, whether you are self-employed, a landlord, a company director, or receiving other income types.
How to obtain it: You can register for Self-Assessment with HMRC online, by phone, or by completing the appropriate registration form for your income type. HMRC will then issue your UTR by post, which is required to file your tax return.
What is a National Insurance number (NINO) and why is it required for Self-Assessment?
Your NINO is a unique personal identifier used by HMRC to track your tax and National Insurance contributions. HMRC requires your NINO on your Self-Assessment return to ensure your taxes are allocated correctly and to prevent processing delays.
What if I don’t know my NINO: If you’ve misplaced your National Insurance number or are unsure what it is, it’s important to locate it before filing. You can find it on your payslip, P60, or HMRC correspondence. If you’re unsure or need guidance, we can advise on how to verify your NINO and ensure it is correctly reported on your Self-Assessment.
