Registration deadline: 5 October 2020
Whilst it may not have quite the same ring, if you think you owe tax for the year ended 5 April 2020 and are not already registered for Self Assessment, you should do so by the end of next Monday.
Do I need to complete a tax return?
There are several reasons why HMRC might want a tax return from you and some of the more common include:
Being self employed or a company director.
Renting property.
Having a household income above £50,000 and claiming Child Benefit.
Earning untaxed income.
Having taxable savings and investment income, or selling certain investments at a profit.
Being a high earner with income over £100,000.
What if I miss the deadline?
It is important to make sure you register, file and pay on time as HMRC can charge penalties if any of the deadline dates are missed.
A failure to notify penalty can apply if you do not tell HMRC about a tax liability when you should have. The amount of penalty is based on the tax due and the taxpayer’s behaviour in helping HMRC deal with the liability.
