Thank you for your response. I saw this site before; what I found a bit confusing, though, is this part:
********************************
Who needs to complete a tax return?
You’ve lived or worked abroad or aren’t domiciled in the UK
You may need to complete a tax return if you're:
* not resident
* not ordinarily resident
* not domiciled in the UK and claim the 'remittance basis'
* dual resident of the UK and another country
Residency is a complex issue, you can find out more about your residency status, the remittance basis and what to do next by downloading the guide below.

So, given that I indeed "have lived abroad" in the past year (ie before coming to the UK), do I fit this category, or not? I thought those who have lived in the UK for more than a year (after getting tier 1 visa) may enlighten me a bit on this issue.
P.S. I also found out that the filing deadline applies to those who paid taxes in April 2008-April 2009 fiscal year, so it looks like I don't have to file by January 2010 (please correct me if I am wrong). But what about next year?

I am a Tier 1 holder, arrived in the UK in September 2009, and started working in November 2009. I pay taxes through PAYE system through my employer. Do I have to file tax return? If yes, can I do it online? Is the deadline 31 January? What informational will I need? I have payslips, is this enough?
Thanks for any advice.
You dont have to file tax return if you have paid taxes through PAYE and that is your only income. However, if you have other icomes like rent etc, you might have to file a tax return. Check out the below link
