Clarion Futures Self Assessment Guide for HMRC

How do I know if I need to register? There is a simple exercise you can do on the HMRC website that asks a series of questions that can help you determine if you need to register. Have a go at this link below. www.gov.uk/check-if-you-need-tax-return What are the ways to get registered? There are three ways to register with HMRC. You can complete an online form CWF1 but you will need to complete this in one go. Once you have done this you will need to print it off and post it to HMRC. The second way is to create a government gateway account to complete the CWF1. Finally, you can phone the self assessment enquiry desk on 0300 200 3310. HMRC also has webchat and other social media accounts where you can ask general questions.

Creating a Gateway Account The government’s gateway account gives you access to a range of services and is the best way to get started. By registering you will get immediate access to your personal tax account. This service gives you information about your tax code, child benefit, state pension, tax credits, manage your address, income tax and refunds and your self assessment. You can also view this on their new HMRC App. More details can be found here www.gov.uk/personal- tax-account How do I create a gateway account? To create the government gateway account, you will need an email address and will be asked to create a password and a recovery password. You then need to select the individual account option so you can get access to your personal account
