Make a New Year’s resolution to get ahead of your self-assessment deadline

Taxpayers who have yet to file a tax return for the last tax year have just a short time left to take action if they want to avoid a financial penalty.

With the Christmas and New Year holidays taking a chunk out of the working month, now is the time to think about preparing your self-assessment online tax return.

If you owe less than £3,000, in tax and want HMRC to collect this through your PAYE code, the deadline for submitting your online self-assessment is midnight on 30 December 2022.

For all other online returns, including balancing payments, you have an additional month to file online by 31 January 2023.
