Do I need to file a self assessment?
​
Generally you will only need to file a personal self assessment when you receive taxable income that has not been fully taxed at source.
​
​
Dividends
If you have received dividends, you are responsible for declaring them to HMRC as personal income. If you earned total dividends of less than £10,000 during the personal tax year to 5 April, you can declare your dividends to HMRC over the phone (call 0300 200 3300) avoiding the need to file a personal tax return. If you earned dividends over £10,000, you must file a personal tax return to declare the dividends to HMRC.
