HMRC issues tax returns each year to those who meet the criteria; you may be self-employed or a higher earner from employment income. The tax return software available online will calculate your tax liability if you fancy giving it a try yourself. However, most people use accountants and tax advisors who might, in their wisdom, be able to save you money and in some circumstances give you guidance and good advice. Indeed, Taxfile can help in all these areas and we explore this in today’s article.

We Submitted Over 400 Tax Returns in January! https://www.taxfile.co.uk/2020/02/we-submitted-over-400-tax-returns-in-january/ Wed, 19 Feb 2020 11:44:25 +0000 https://www.taxfile.co.uk/?p=3841 Over 400 tax returns submitted

Taxfile prepared and submitted more than 400 Self-Assessment tax returns for clients during January. That's about a hundred a week and goes to show just how busy it gets for us during January, the busiest month in our accounting calendar.

Did you submit your tax return on time?

The deadline for submission of your tax return (and payment of any tax due) was 31st January at midnight. Did you manage to submit yours in time? If not, you're already into the 'penalty' period where HMRC basically fine you for being late. The penalty comes in the form of an initial £100 fine but that increases, potentially very significantly, as you get later and later with your tax return submission. If you look at the table below, it's safe to say that you can end up owing a thousand pounds or more if you bury your head in the sand and are 3 months late, or more. If you continue to leave your tax payment and tax return submission outstanding for six months or more, the penalty is £1300 as a minimum - perhaps more (it depends upon how much tax you owe).
