Hi, this is all new to me so please bear with. I get carers allowence and became self employed in Dec 19. I earn the amount you can to still qualify for carers & I got paid at the end of Dec for my work for the first time. Do I need to submit a tax return by the end of Jan 2020 as I only started in Dec 19? Thank you, hope that makes sense.

A question best asked of the TaxMan ... HM Revenue and Customs ?
Let me have a look :

Yep ... that link seems to fit the bill ?
If on irregular earnings , could be problems ahead IF income is NOT averaged over a period ... especially so under Universal Credit.
