B barry2012 Registered User Messages 15 18 Jun 2015 #1 Hi, Hopefully this is a simple question, but I can't seem to find a definite answer. I have some self-employed income. If I do work in December 2014 and get paid for it in January 2015, which tax year do I include the payment in? Thanks in advance, barry

I would assume date of payment is the key date. The work in December could have been a work-in-progress spanning the two years, however the date of payment is very specific.
