Are You Outstanding

If you are required to file a self-assessment tax return for 2013/14 then 31 October 2014 is the deadline date for filing this in paper format, but don’t despair as you have until 31 January 2015 if you can file this online from your computer. However to file online you have to register for this service with HMRC and you need to allow at least 2 weeks for this to be processed. 

HMRC automatically apply penalties if you do not meet either of these deadline dates. 

Only those who are in receipt of taxable income above their personal allowance may be obliged to complete a self-assessment return, but if your income is limited to pensions or employment and the tax liability can be collected by deduction from this income under PAYE then you should not be required to self-assess. 

As HMRC have now closed all their Tax Enquiry offices you can no longer visit these for any face to face assistance, you are now limited to telephone help.
