Anyone eligible can transfer 10% of their allowance.

If HMRC expects a tax return for any given year, how it is filed will depend on how long it dates back. For example, if it is within the last 3 years it can be submitted online. Anything prior would need to be submitted on a paper return (but it can still be generated through the Tax Figures system).

Tax Figures allows two different ways to have your identity verified. You can either upload two acceptable forms of ID through Dropbox or choose to verify your identity through Yoti. The completion of a tax return on your behalf is a regulated activity and we have to verify your identity before undertaking the tax return preparation work. The preferred two forms of ID will be a valid passport and driving licence, with the passport acting as photographic ID and the driving licence verifying your address. However, the regulations stipulate we need one photographic ID (passport or driving licence) to verify your face to your name and a separate document to verify your name to your address. This can be in the form of a bank, mortgage or credit card statement, insurance document, water bill, gas/electric bill or council tax notice.
