Form 11 requesting payment of previously-paid tax.

[davecs]

Up until July of 2023, I was working in a freelance capacity. I began a new contracted civil service job in August, which deducts my tax automatically from my pay cheques via PAYE. I de-registered for self-assessment for the period from July 31st 2023. However, when attempting to complete my form 11 for 2023, which should only require tax payment for my freelance earnings from January to July, it asks for payment of taxes on my earnings from August to December, even though my taxes for those earnings have been paid via PAYE. Does anyone know how I avoid being charged for tax that has already been paid? Many thanks.

You fill in your earnings from all sources on form 11. Any tax deducted at source from your PAYE earnings will be pre-populated.

Your tax liability will then be calculated by form 11.
