Where have you read that?
Gov.uk
‘When to report your income to HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC)
You usually have to send a Self Assessment tax return if:
you rent out property in the UK
you work for yourself in the UK
you have a pension outside the UK and you were UK resident in one of the 5 previous tax years
you have other untaxed income
You do not need to report your income to HMRC if you’ve already claimed tax relief under a ‘double-taxation agreement’.
I’m not so much concerned that it would end up costing me money as that we’d have to file even more returns.
