HMRC to enhance self assessment pre-population
From 6 April 2019, HMRC’s phase two pre-population release will include:
- Data available earlier in the tax year and maybe for the current year (currently unavailable until September after PAYE reconciliation has completed)
- Pensions data by provider, not aggregated
- Improved data quality (for example, pensions are sometimes reported as employments)
- More data, such as state pensions and bank interest
