AIMS Accountants for Business
Are you one of the 600,000 taxpayers who missed the January 31st 2023 deadline for self-assessment? HRMC was expecting 12.1m tax returns to be filed, of which 11.4m were submitted on time. However, 600,000 tax returns were still outstanding.
An amazing 800,000 taxpayers filed on the day of the deadline with 36,000 filing in the very last hour. Although 600,000 sounds high, it’s a lot better than the year before when 2m tax returns missed the deadline! So why did so many poeple still miss the 2023 deadline for self-assessment?
Apart from the stress of leaving your tax return to the last minute (literally), you also risk fines and interest payments.

If you talk to your accountant, you can agree when to provide all the information needed and the return can be submitted well in time.
