What needs to be included?
You need to include all the income received. Obviously, this is a vague answer and there are loads of conditions and specifications that may need a different approach. Although HMRC website is quite good giving you the steps to follow, remember to check the tax relieves if you got any, every little help. You can get tax reliefs from personal pension contributions, donations to charity, expenses of employment, professional subscriptions, etc…
