The Revenue received 7.65m digital SA submissions in 2011/12 – 80.9% of the total number of returns for the year – but only 25% of taxpayers’ interactions with the department are online.

HMRC have launched an online tool to help employees check whether or not they need to calculate their annual allowance tax liability, even if they have not received a pension statement.
Pension providers should have recently sent annual allowance statements for 2011/12 and 2012/13 to members who have contributed more than the maximum £50,000 a year to a scheme. The issue of statements was a legislative requirement of FA 2011.
