  • Hah, you and me both...

    I’ve done my tax return (I guess??) and it wants me to make a payment tomorrow for predicted income / tax for 2018

    Problem is I only worked freelance for 2/3 months in the 2018 tax year earning wayyyy less than 2017. Does anyone know how do I change this so I don’t have to pay anything?

    ..Do I even understand this aspect of the tax return correctly 🤷‍♂️

  • it wants me to make a payment tomorrow for predicted income / tax for 2018

    If you're talking about your 1st payment on account for 2018/19, you can apply to have those reduced based on predicted earnings being less than 2017/18. You probably should have done that a couple of months ago...
    I think at this late stage you basically have to pay what they're asking for to avoid late payment penalties and then see if they will accept nothing in July to bring you back into line with your projection. Get your 2018/19 return in as soon as possible after the end of the tax year if you think you'll end up owing nothing, so that they can send your money back.
