Just 100 Days Left To Submit Self Assessment Tax Returns

HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) has issued a reminder to Self Assessment customers that there is now just 100 days left to submit a tax return by the deadline of 31 January 2024.

And with the clock ticking down, customers can find various types of help from webinars to step by step guides at the click of a mouse.

Anyone who needs support to complete their return for the 2022 to 2023 tax year can access the online help available on GOV.UK. It explains how to access HMRC's services and ask for help, without having to call us.

Completing a tax return sooner means that customers can find out what they owe and can work out how to pay between now and the deadline.

Myrtle Lloyd, HMRC's Director General for Customer Services, said: "My advice for anyone completing their Self Assessment is to get prepared and, if they need extra support, to access HMRC's free online help and resources. Search 'Self Assessment' on GOV.UK to find out more."

Customers can pay through the HMRC app. If customers cannot pay in full, HMRC wants to help them to find an affordable way for them to pay the tax they owe. If customers owe less than £30,000, they may be able to set up a Time to Pay arrangement and do this online without speaking to HMRC. For a full list of ways to payany tax owed, visit GOV.UK.

If anyone thinks they no longer need to complete a Self Assessment tax return for the 2022 to 2023 tax year, they should tell HMRC as soon as possible to avoid any penalties. HMRC has produced 2 videos explaining how customers can go online and stop Self Assessment if they are self-employed and those who are not self-employed.

Customers need to be aware of the risk of falling victim to scams and should never share their HMRC login details with anyone, including a tax agent, if they have one. HMRC scams advice is available on GOV.UK.
