Changes to Self Assessment thresholds

Information about Self Assessment changes from tax year 23/ 24 onwards

HMRC are making some changes to the thresholds for Self Assessment from tax year 2023 to 2024 onwards. This will affect those customers who are taxed solely through PAYE. 

⭐The Self Assessment threshold for 2022 to 2023 tax returns remains at £100,000. If you submit a 2022 to 2023 return showing income between £100,000 and £150,000 taxed through PAYE you will receive a Self Assessment exit letter, so long as you do not meet any of the other criteria for submitting a Self Assessment return. 


For the 2023 to 2024 tax year onward customers will still need to submit a tax return if their income taxed through PAYE is below £150,000 but they meet one of the other criteria for submitting a Self Assessment return, such as:

  • receive any untaxed income over £2,500
  • have a partner in a business partnership
  • have to pay the High-Income Child Benefit Charge
  • are self-employed individuals with gross income of over £1,000


newsIn the Autumn statement it was announced that from the 2024/25 tax year, the income threshold of £150,000 would be removed altogether.

  • receive any untaxed income over £2,500
  • have a partner in a business partnership
  • have to pay the High-Income Child Benefit Charge
  • are self-employed individuals with gross income of over £1,000

❗ From the tax year 2024 to 2025 onwards, the income threshold to complete a tax return for PAYE-only taxpayers will be removed. Customers will still be required to submit a return if they meet any of the other conditions listed above.
