You can try a letter but I do not think it will satisfy them; they need all info' which they get from formal completion of the tax return etc.
Just an update.
I sent my tax return with the relevant forms 302 etc etc.
I have now received a two line letter stating that my income is zero and my tax is zero.
I stated a UK income of less than PAllw on the 302 form but whoever has processed the form has put zero income on the letter to me so I am puzzled.
I am claiming foreign residency as explained could this have had a bearing on the figure quoted in HMRC's letter?
Also the letter states that he will write to me if there are any questions on my tax return.
Is this common practice? No one appears to have signed the letter. Also am I very likely to receive other correspondence on this tax return?
