Every year i use efile taxes to send in my forms rather then filling them out by hand it is so much more reliable knowing they got to the irs on time.

That's good timing to leave the UK!

If you are renting out a property in the UK then you have to pay tax on the rental income (offset against the interest on your mortgage), so yes you should definitely be doing tax returns.

I left the UK on the 29 March and started work on the 4 April when I got to the Middle East, so I was fine for the tax year. (I work in HR so knew that much).

I did buy a property and I am renting it out so I think I will see an accountant when I go back

exiledsaint - I believe you only have to do one if you have UK tax liabilities (interest on savings, rental income etc). HMRC usually send you a form if you need to complete it, but it is your responsibility to complete one if you need to (so saying "you didn't send me one" isn't a valid excuse!).

I would have thought that you'd have at least had to do one for the year you left the UK, as that would require split-year treatment. Then again, perhaps not if you just applied for a refund for your overpaid tax. I'm not a tax expert so don't take my advice as gospel!

I declared myself non-resident over 4 years ago. Am I supposed to fill in the self assesment form?

The problem with doing it online is that the HMRC site doesn't allow you to do the Non-Resident section (well, it didn't last tax year at least). I ended up paying for TaxCalc, which allows ALL sections to be filled in on your computer and uploaded to the HMRC website.

Do you mean the self assesment forms? If so, you can do online. From my experience, if you want advice about how to fill it out WRONG, ask the idiot customer services number on the form. They mis advised me 3 times, I got fined but later had it refunded after threatening to sue them. Good luck, if you post exactly what problem you have, may be able to help.
