What a complete load of b***ocks.
I'm PAYE with no savings account or other investments (I have a current mortage account) and I've just spent 5 minutes filling a self assessment form. This form will now be processed and waste 10 minutes of someone else's time.
The only info I've put in the form is the information the Inland Revenue give me on the P60 and additional contact info along with my signature - the same as I did for 2000, 2001 & 2002 tax years.
Why?

Are you only complaining about self-assessment??? I had to fill in a tax return form the very first year I was working after uni (1985) and EVERY year since.... Must have been the fact that they had also sent me one when I was a student and sent them a snotty letter back saying they should see my county council about details of my grant if they were that interested !!! Obviously pi%$ed someone off!!!!
But I agree - complete waste of time. They should do more to reduce the complexity of the tax system (an dthe rest of government!!) rather than make it more complicated.

PS: remember student grants?? But i still left uni with debts ...

You have to fill the form out else you get a £100 fine for starters.
As for the form there only two sections for me, the employment form and name/address part of the main assessment.
I have no investments, student loans, kids, nor savings as I have a combined mortgage/current account.
I don't mind the effort its the poor buggers on the other end (including the postie) that get thousands of these forms to deal with.

My father's PAYE. To his annoyance, he too received a Tax Return to fill in.
Begrudgingly, he's filled it in online......
AND found out that they owe him money!!!!
So, the moral of the story is, fill it in anyways, you may be entitled to a rebate.....
