31st January Deadline

  • HMRC will not waive penalties nor extend the 31st January Self-Assessment filing deadline.
  • HMRC will accept pandemic-related disruption caused to the taxpayer’s business or their personal circumstances as a reasonable excuse. The same will apply when agents are delayed in filing a return due to the pandemic.
  • The appeal period for a late filing penalty will be extended from one to three months to give taxpayers and agents more time.

·    Don’t forget that if the 31st January tax payment is no more than £30,000 that you can enter into a Time to Pay arrangement to spread the debt over         12 months.
