PAYE self-assessment help

[andyc11]

Hi, I m employed and all salary goes through PAYE. For the last few years, as my salary exceeded the stated thresholds, I ve submitted a return and paid the tax. I ve just found out that the threshold for tax year 23-24 for individuals whose only income was taxed through PAYE was raised to £150,000 and for 24-25 there is no threshold.

Whilst my salary was under the 23-24 threshold, I did file and pay, and HMRC have sent messages stating I need to file and pay for 24-25 tax year. Looks like I need to inform HMRC, but just wondering if anyone knows why they accepted my return for 23-24 (and payment) when all income was declared as PAYE and in line with my P60?

Edit: I don’t meet any other criteria for filing a self-assessment per the HMRC online checker.

Thanks,

Andy

I'm in a similar position and submitted a 24-25 return purely to find out exactly what I owed, pay it, and not have HMRC rip the arse out of my tax code for the following year.

I'll likely do the same next year as well.

they're a bunch of fkwits, and it will be virtually impossible to challenge, so if they asked you to do it you probably just need to do it.
