Bookkeeping
How long do I have to keep Books and Records?
As a general rule you must keep details of any self-employment or property income for five years from the 31 January after the end of the tax year in which they apply
e.g. Records for your 2013-14 Tax return must be kept until 31 January 2020.
If you are an employee, pensioner or have savings income then you must keep details for one year from the 31 January after the end of the tax year,
e.g. Records for your 2017-18 Tax return must be kept until 31 January 2020.
If you send your return in late you must keep them for 15 months after the date it is received by HMRC.
