Thank you for writing this. I’ve been considering whether I should switch to self-assessment for some time now, and this might give me the impetus.
I don’t know what “STD” means.
I haven’t seen the form, but in the context of a phone number, STD would mean “subscriber trunk dialling”, a phrase that younger readers may never have encountered. It’s a new-fangled technology that obviates the need to place long-distance phone calls (“trunk calls”) through an operator. In the UK it was introduced in 1958. Nowadays, an “STD code” is more usually called an area code.
