Figures are rounded to 100. Counts of submitted P85 forms in September 2024 and April 2026 are labelled as [x] due to incomplete data.
Individuals can use the online system to submit a digital P85 or fill in a paper form and submit it by post. The counts provided in the table above are for digital forms only. Postal form data for this period is not available. Data for June 2026 is not yet available.
P85 forms are submitted by taxpayers who are not intending to submit a self-assessment tax return. Individuals who file through Self-Assessment do not need to submit a P85 form.
