Changes to the Self Assessment Registration Process for Customers Who are not Self-Employed

From 21 September 2009 a central team will deal with all new Self Assessment registrations. This means that non self-employed customers will no longer be asked to write to their local tax office when they wish to get a tax return and register for Self Assessment.

Non self-employed customers will now be able to register by ringing the Self Assessment Helpline on 0845 900 0444 or by completing a new form (SA1). Customers will need a valid National Insurance number and will be asked to provide information about what's changed, whether they call the helpline or complete the new form.

A new form SA1 has been designed to help customers who aren't self-employed to easily provide all the information HMRC needs. HMRC can then register them for Self Assessment and send out the right tax return pages.

Full details of the changes are reproduced below at 2.08.
