Hi Emna,

If you have not had any job for that period then do notify the HMRC helpline when you begin to work. It may affect any benefits you currently receive, they will ask you to estimate your income if possible.

You can register for tax self assessment online. The following link is main page on the website for navigating to other useful areas: http://www.hmrc.gov.uk/sa/index.htm

Alternatively, ask for an appointment at your local job centre, who should be able to show you the paper versions and processes.

Hope this helps and good luck with getting started!
