Im self employed and I doing my tax return for 2022-23. Past 5 years I have always filled my return in January, last minute thing, this year I'm having to do it earlier and have stumbled across something I didn't see in previous returns.
Basically when I get to the Tax calculation page it says
Total amount due for 2022-23. £xxxx This is how it normally is
However it is also saying
First payment on account for 2023-24 £xxxx
Total to be added to Self Assessment account due by 31 January 2024 £xxxx It adds both 22/23 and 22/24 together.
Ive not had this before and not really sure what its doing, seems its just adding next years tax estimate? onto my return as then is says
Second payment on account for 2023-24 will be due by 31 July 2024 £xxxx
It does say if in help section underneath, If you expect your 2023 to 2024 income to be lower than your 2022 to 2023 income, you may want to reduce your 2023-24 payments on account.
But I don't expect my income to be lower though so not sure whats going on.
Any help would be great
