Fill in your self-assessment form - these are not just for the self-employed you know. If you really were only on PAYE for the whole tax year, completing the form should be easy and once you fill in the form and thereby prove that you have no other income from other (self-employed) sources you will find life is easier. Otherwise, they are paid to be suspicious and quite rightly too, as tax evasion takes money directly off other people such as the low-paid whose only option is PAYE and who undeniably have to pay higher taxes to meet the shortfall caused.
