Hi,
After some advice concerning submission of self assessment tax return.
I retired in 2019 and received an early retirement package. Due to the amount of monies received, I had to complete a Self Assessment, which I completed and received a tax rebate.
This was the 1st time, I had completed a self assessment return since 2006. Always been PAYE.
Therefore after retirement and receiving a pension, I did not believe that I had to complete any further self assessment returns.
I recently had a tax query and spoke to HMRC on 3 occasions to clarify and received confirmation that I owed no tax.
After my call this Monday morning, I received an email at Midnight advising that I owed £100 penalty for late filing of my 2020/21 SA return and then at 3am on Tuesday another email advising that I owe a £1,500 penalty for late submission.
I do not believe that I had to file any return as my pension is fully taxed and will be appealing.
Can HMRC send me these penalties without any reminders 2 years 9 months after the return was due? I have never received a reminder or notification of when the penalties were due until this week.
The only notification I received was 05/04/21 via the HMRC app, did not receive any notification in the post, hence I didn't even look at the app and didn't use it.
