Self employed, catching up on tax returns

neiliusmaximus

I registered for self-employed status in 2008 after earning some money (~13k). In October 2008 I submitted a form 11 and paid the tax and prsi due on this amount. However in 2009 and 2010 I didn't submit a form because I didn't earn anything as a self employed person. This year, 2011, I'm back being self employed and I'm trying to catch up.

What forms do I need to submit for 2009 and 2010? Will the form 11 from those years suffice? Should I just submit all 3 together (2009-2011)? Am I asking for trouble!

Thanks in advance for the advice

I would always advise total tax compliance. If you didn't deregister as self-employed (and it appears you haven't), then you should have submitted a tax return.

I would strongly suggest that you submit all three, burying your head in the sand isn't a practical option. Beside, if you have no income for the those two years, it's very unlikely that there is anything to worry about.

You have to file a return even if there is no income or no expenses - otherwise revenue don't know this. As far as they are concerned there are outstanding return with possible liabilities.
