Hot News

HMRC yesterday effectively extended the Self Assessment deadline until Thursday 2 February due to strike action in their offices.

In a statement on its website, the department announced, “To make sure our customers are not disadvantaged if they cannot get through to HMRC's call centres on 31 January, we will not impose any late filing penalties for people who file their Self Assessment returns on 1 and 2 February.”

No interest will also be charged on payments due on 31 January that are paid on 1 or 2 February.

Our professional fee payment protection plan will also be brought into line, in that returns submitted on 1st and 2nd February will not be considered late under the plan and will, therefore, remain covered.
