I have not been self employed for the past 2 years, but I still recieve a tax return and requests for NI. How should I tell the Inland Revenue I'm not self employed?

You should write to you tax office at the address they sent you the return from. It is quite likely you will have to do a self assessment for some time but make sure you do not keep paying National Insurance by direct debit - it is down to you to tell them you are no longer self employed.

If this helps at all, I also continued to receive self-assessment forms for a couple of years after ceasing to be self-employed.  I ended up phoning my local tax office a total of 3 times.  The 1st time to inform them of my changed status; the 2nd time to remind them one year later when I received the self assessment forms again; the 3rd and final time another year on to strongly (but politely) remind them again.  They finally stopped sending the forms after that.
