I always thought I needed to do online self- assessment, there was a need in the past and I continued, year on year but this year I decided to ask the tax people. There was an online form via gov gateway

It took a while but I had the written answer I needed, I am very relieved. No more `pit of the stomach` feeling, no more self-assessment

It did say on that form that this would apply next year so I dutifully filled in the 24/25 assessment online

I must have made mistakes because I have just looked and they have done my assessment and the amount I need to pay by jan 31st 2026 is half what I assessed

Its a weight off me and is definitely worth asking

My husband died in 2004. Since then got £29.56 per month since March 2004 from a private pension he had didn't have to any tax. All his other private pensions because he was 47 paid out lump sums its just this one pension that didn't.

I just have my state pension in my own right . Because of my husbands £29.56 I am now £53 over the limit for tax year 26/27 and now have to pay tax. They are going to take £6.60 per month out of the £29.56 . I have just got off the HMRC and told that is correct .
