Deadlines

Avoid any late filing penalties by filing your annual tax return right on time. The deadline is on 28.01.2020 for online filings. If you're too late, urgent action is required. We strongly recommend getting in touch with us.

If you like to send send a paper tax return it must reach HMRC by midnight on 31 October each year. So for the 2019-204 tax year (ending on 5 April 2020), the deadline for paper returns is midnight on 31 October 2020.

There are very few exceptions. As an example, the deadline may be later if HMRC send you the letter, telling you to complete a tax return, after 31 July. In this case the letter will tell you the deadline - it is usually 3 months from the date of the letter. Or if you're sending a Self Assessment return for a registered pension scheme or non-resident company, you can only send paper returns so the deadline isn't until 31 January.
