UK tax return deadline 31st January
A reminder to all those who file their tax returns online: the deadline is 31st January and if you are late, you risk a £100 fine.
It’s probably best to actually do your return this week rather than leave it to the last minute. Last year, so many people tried to file their return online on the very last day that the Inland Revenue’s website crashed, and loads of people were left unable to file.
Save yourself the bother and do it this weekend. That way, if something goes wrong, you still have time to phone the help line for advice and time to make another attempt to file.
