The October 31 paper-filing deadline for 2013/14 tax returns has now passed. Even if you have no tax to pay, or you eventually pay your tax on time, a late paper return will still land you with the £100 penalty.
Now it’s November, the only way to avoid a penalty is by submitting your tax return online by January 31.
To send an online tax return, you must be registered for HMRC Online Services. This involves HMRC sending you an Activation Code in the post, so allow time for this to arrive. If you haven’t registered for online filing, you can do so by visiting the GOV.UK website at www.gov.uk/register-for-self-assessment and following the instructions.
You can file now and pay later – as long as you pay what is owed by January 31.
