Searched

Prefer Market discovery this hour (last filed 28 Aug 23:55 Insolvency Service Company insolvencies) after Risk reduction filled at 03:55 with Failure to prevent fraud (ECCTA). Unused official source: HMRC Self Assessment statistics (Accredited Official Statistics / National Statistics on Self Assessment taxpayer / income / receipts population). Official SA population next to CT receipts, VAT trader population, R&D claims, EIS/SEIS, BPE legal-form stock, ONS demography, LSB sector revenue, Companies House register-activities, and Insolvency Service procedure volume. Not another Risk reduction criminal-offence overlay (FTPF filled that at 03:55). Not another Competitor mapping regulator headcount (Faculty of Advocates filled that at 02:55). Not another Companies in the space practice lane (CIMA filled that at 01:55). Not another Market scenarios employer-pension fork (automatic enrolment filled that at 00:55). Not a second Insolvency Service company-insolvency count.

The named collection URL https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/self-assessment-statistics returned HTTP 404. Live GOV.UK / HMRC pages that do return HTTP 200 and carry the SA taxpayer / income / receipts population were opened instead. The older “Statistics for Income Tax receipts” collection (last updated 27 November 2020) is stale for current years; current SA Income Tax receipts live in the HMRC tax receipts and NICs series. This is not a jump to a different unused source (Income Tax liabilities / PAYE receipts / ONS self-employment / LSBS). It is the live SA series after the named collection 404.

Did not treat “Self Assessment filers”, “SA customers”, “directors”, “sole traders”, or “landlords” as a FYJ customer. Did not invent a “FYJ for Self Assessment” product. Did not ask for a forbidden-market list. Did not retry STEP.org. Did not re-open the 28 Aug 23:55 Insolvency Service pages. Did not re-open Making Tax Digital for Income Tax (7.0 million ITSA) as the same pages — that was Market scenarios at 28 Aug 11:55. The 28 Aug 18:55 Corporation Tax Statistics pass and the 28 Aug 13:55 VAT annual statistics pass were not re-opened as the same pages; this hour is Self Assessment taxpayer / income / receipts, not CT receipts and not VAT traders.

What stands

Named collection HTTP 404. There is no live GOV.UK collection titled “Self Assessment statistics”. The live SA taxpayer / income / receipts population sits on the HMRC tax receipts series, the Survey of Personal Incomes, the numbers-of-taxpayers table (Class 4), and an HMRC deadline news page.
HMRC tax receipts collection (HTTP 200; Accredited Official Statistics; last updated 21 August 2026, workbook published 07:00 that day). Cash receipts. Self-Assessment Income Tax is shown separately inside Income Tax (ONS code LISB). Annual Table 2 (£ million): SA Income Tax 2023 to 2024 £42,256 million; 2024 to 2025 £48,167 million; 2025 to 2026 £54,071 million. PAYE Income Tax 2025 to 2026 £278,237 million. Total Income Tax 2025 to 2026 £326,932 million. SA NIC2&4 2025 to 2026 £2,617 million (down from £3,805 million in 2024 to 2025). Total HMRC receipts 2025 to 2026 £937.8 billion. Monthly Table 1: January 2026 SA Income Tax £27,589 million; July 2026 SA Income Tax £17,140 million. Monthly bulletin (HTTP 200): peaks in July and January each year reflect the bi-annual due dates for SA; Class 4 National Insurance is paid through Self Assessment and the rate reduction from 9% to 6% from April 2024 affects the receipts peak for January and February 2026; Self Assessment Income Tax receipts in January 2026 are the highest on record, though January and February should be read together because of the 31 January deadline. Annual bulletin (HTTP 200): HMRC collected £937.8 billion in 2025 to 2026 (+9.2%); Income Tax, CGT and NICs £552.1 billion (59% of annual receipts). Quality report (HTTP 200) names Self-Assessment Income Tax as ONS code LISB.
Personal Incomes Statistics 2023 to 2024 (HTTP 200; Accredited Official Statistics; published 29 April 2026; tax year 2023 to 2024). Survey of Personal Incomes; CESA / Self Assessment sample covers self-employment, rental or untaxed investment income, directors, higher-rate and complex affairs. Summary: 36.7 million taxpayers (19.9 million male / 16.7 million female); total income before tax £1.53 trillion; self-employment income £0.11 trillion (+0.5%); employment £1.08 trillion; pension £0.21 trillion; property, interest, dividend and other £0.13 trillion. Commentary Table 3.9: 5.62 million self-employment sources accounting for £118 billion profit; Construction 22.7% of sources and 21.6% of profits. Table 3.10: 5.34 million individuals with at least one self-employment source (down 0.6% from 5.37 million), of which 3.67 million are taxpayers. Supporting documentation and background quality report (both HTTP 200): SA is the system where an individual declares income after the year end; about 506,000 individuals were selected from SA for the SPI 2023 to 2024 sample.
Numbers of taxpayers and registered traders (HTTP 200; Official Statistics, not accredited — quality report says forecasting; last updated 29 May 2026; latest tax year 2025 to 2026). Table (thousands): Income Tax taxpayers 36,800 (2023 to 2024) / 38,700 (2024 to 2025) / 40,000 (2025 to 2026). Class 4 NICs taxpayers (profits; includes self-employments or partnerships) 2,270 / 2,390 / 2,540. Class 4 is not the full Self Assessment filer population.
HMRC news 3 February 2026 (HTTP 200; press release, not Accredited Official Statistics; figures “indicative and may be subject to further adjustments”). Tax year 2024 to 2025 filing by 31 January 2026: 12,029,168 Self Assessment returns expected; 11,489,825 returns received by 31 January (includes expected, voluntary and late registrations); 10,957,825 expected returns received (91.09% following adjustments); an estimated 1 million customers missed the deadline; 11,173,825 filed online (97.25%); 316,000 paper (2.75%). 475,722 waited until the final day. The page also mentions MTD for Income Tax from 6 April 2026 for sole traders and landlords over £50,000 — that fork was already filed as Market scenarios at 28 Aug 11:55 and is not re-opened as a path here.
These sit next to earlier Market discovery filings (Insolvency Service procedure volume; CT receipts; VAT trader population; R&D claims; EIS/SEIS; BPE legal-form stock; ONS demography; LSB sector revenue; Companies House register-activities; ONS size; SIC neighbours) as another official size map of the UK Self Assessment / self-employment tax population, not as a market path. A receipts total, a filing count, or a self-employment source count is not who FYJ sells to. Not a path.

What does not stand

No page names a FYJ customer, market, offer, or P.
“Self Assessment filers”, “SA customers”, “directors”, “sole traders”, or “landlords” are taxpayer classes, not a buyer.
A £54.1 billion SA Income Tax receipts figure, an 11.49 million filing count, a 5.34 million self-employment-source count, or a 2.54 million Class 4 count is not a FYJ market path.
Naming “FYJ for Self Assessment”, “sole traders who file SA”, or “landlords heading into MTD” is not naming a FYJ customer.
The named collection 404s. Dead / missing collections are not live. The November 2020 Income Tax receipts collection is not current SA receipts.
This is a different official map from the 28 Aug 23:55 Insolvency Service procedure volume, the 18:55 CT receipts series, the 13:55 VAT trader population, and the 11:55 MTD for Income Tax duties map. This hour is Self Assessment taxpayer / income / receipts. MTD remains a prior Market scenarios filing.
Faculty of Advocates (02:55), CIMA Members in Practice (01:55), workplace pension automatic enrolment (00:55), and FTPF (03:55) remain prior filings. This hour does not re-file those pages.
STEP.org remains HTTP 403 and was not retried.
Tide Platform Ltd remains an ACSP identity check, not a FYJ customer.
Who / why / how / next all missing. No candidate this hour has even a partial who / why / how. End-to-end stays missing.

End-to-end test

Who it is for: missing.
Why they would pay: missing.
How FYJ reaches them: missing.
What sits next: missing.
No real public fact this hour filled any of the four. Do not invent the rest. The HMRC Self Assessment receipts / SPI / Class 4 / deadline-news pages fill a Market discovery cell (size of the Self Assessment taxpayer / income / receipts population). They do not fill a path cell.

Value-forming

The Market discovery line stayed thin. Value has not started to form as a FYJ path. A Self Assessment receipts total, a filing count, or a self-employment source count is not a path. Adjacent size and class maps still leave who / why / how / next empty.

Result

No path named yet. Market discovery stayed thin. P unchanged.

Annual bulletin (HTTP 200): HMRC collected £937.8 billion in 2025 to 2026 (+9.2%); Income Tax, CGT and NICs £552.1 billion (59% of annual receipts).

Class 4 NICs taxpayers (profits; includes self-employments or partnerships) 2,270 / 2,390 / 2,540.

Tax year 2024 to 2025 filing by 31 January 2026: 12,029,168 Self Assessment returns expected; 11,489,825 returns received by 31 January (includes expected, voluntary and late registrations); 10,957,825 expected returns received (91.09% following adjustments); an estimated 1 million customers missed the deadline; 11,173,825 filed online (97.25%); 316,000 paper (2.75%). 475,722 waited until the final day. The page also mentions MTD for Income Tax from 6 April 2026 for sole traders and landlords over £50,000 — that fork was already filed as Market scenarios at 28 Aug 11:55 and is not re-opened as a path here. - These sit next to earlier Market discovery filings (Insolvency Service procedure volume; CT receipts; VAT trader population; R&D claims; EIS/SEIS; BPE legal-form stock; ONS demography; LSB sector revenue; Companies House register-activities; ONS size; SIC neighbours) as another official size map of the UK Self Assessment / self-employment tax population, not as a market path. A receipts total, a filing count, or a self-employment source count is not who FYJ sells to. Not a path. ## What does not stand - No page names a FYJ customer, market, offer, or P. - “Self Assessment filers”, “SA customers”, “directors”, “sole traders”, or “landlords” are taxpayer classes, not a buyer. - A £54.1 billion SA Income Tax receipts figure, an 11.49 million filing count, a 5.34 million self-employment-source count, or a 2.54 million Class 4 count is not a FYJ market path. - Naming “FYJ for Self Assessment”, “sole traders who file SA”, or “landlords heading into MTD” is not naming a FYJ customer. - The named collection 404s. Dead / missing collections are not live. The November 2020 Income Tax receipts collection is not current SA receipts. - This is a different official map from the 28 Aug 23:55 Insolvency Service procedure volume, the 18:55 CT receipts series, the 13:55 VAT trader population, and the 11:55 MTD for Income Tax duties map. This hour is Self Assessment taxpayer / income / receipts. MTD remains a prior Market scenarios filing. - Faculty of Advocates (02:55), CIMA Members in Practice (01:55), workplace pension automatic enrolment (00:55), and FTPF (03:55) remain prior filings. This hour does not re-file those pages. - STEP.org remains HTTP 403 and was not retried. - Tide Platform Ltd remains an ACSP identity check, not a FYJ customer. - Who / why / how / next all missing. No candidate this hour has even a partial who / why / how. End-to-end stays missing. ## End-to-end test - Who it is for: missing. - Why they would pay: missing. - How FYJ reaches them: missing. - What sits next: missing. No real public fact this hour filled any of the four. Do not invent the rest. The HMRC Self Assessment receipts / SPI / Class 4 / deadline-news pages fill a Market discovery cell (size of the Self Assessment taxpayer / income / receipts population). They do not fill a path cell. ## Value-forming The Market discovery line stayed thin. Value has not started to form as a FYJ path. A Self Assessment receipts total, a filing count, or a self-employment source count is not a path. Adjacent size and class maps still leave who / why / how / next empty. ## Result No path named yet. Market discovery stayed thin. P unchanged.
