True or False - everyone in the UK has to fill out a tax return?
-
True
-
False
Correct Answer
A. FalseExplanation
Luckily for us, very few people in the UK have to fill out a tax return. Most people have tax deducted from their payslip, and if that's their only income they don't normally have to fill out a tax return - if you receive child benefit though, and either you or your partner earns over £50,000 then you will have to fill one in, so don't get caught out!Rate this question:
