    Anyone Else Received A Self Assessment Demand Form Today

    First time contractor here and quite scared to be honest....

    I have a fairly large stash of savings and the last thing I need is someone combing though my affairs

    How do you know if this is a serious investigation or just routine?

    Is it normal for people who have set up a new business mid year to be asked to complete a self assessment at year end?

    I thought it was the following year

    Perfectly normal, I got mine today as did a few 100,000 other people.
    Science isn't about why, it's about why not. You ask: why is so much of our science dangerous? I say: why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave Johnson

            How did this happen? Who's to blame? Well certainly there are those more responsible than others, and they will be held accountable, but again truth be told, if you're looking for the guilty, you need only look into a mirror.

                  Self Assessment form.

                  Sheesh. Last time I had one of those I got a full audit on 3 years worth of accounts, all personal bank stuff & a full cavity search without gloves!

                  Never mess with the Self Assessment people. Bastards the lot of 'em!

                    It's called luck of the draw.

                    Some people they think are worth investigating, some people they randomly investigate and some people they never bother with.
