Self Assessment for Company Directors

Are you self employed, a partner in a business or a company director? Then you should be aware of the approaching deadline for your Self Assessment Tax Return.

This year, your returns must be submitted to HMRC by 31st January. Any submissions after this date will result in a £100 fine for late filing, and £10 daily penalties will come into effect if returns are still outstanding after 3 months, unless HMRC believe there is a valid reason resulting in this late submission. Examples and all information can be found on https://www.hmrc.gov.uk/online/excuse-missed-deadline.htm, however each case is different and will be considered individually.

If the deadline cannot be met, HMRC must be informed as soon as possible as there may be the option of an extension, or the opportunity to pay in instalments, but this will only apply if contact is made prior to the 31st.

If you need your tax return completed by an accountant, contact U-Tax on 01564 732174. We'll complete your return, have it submitted on time and correspond with HMRC on your behalf, all for just £75 + VAT.
