There are two versions of the Self Employment pages of the tax return – the short and the full form. The short form is a simplified version of the full form with fewer entry boxes.

You must use the full form if any of the below statements are true:

• turnover is more than £85,000 (or would be in a full year)
• you need to report a change of accounting date
• you want to enclose a balance sheet
• you want to disclose all information to HMRC.

In all other cases you can use the Short Form.
