What happens if I miss the 31st of January deadline?

Category: Getting Started

If you miss the online filing deadline:

  • HMRC will normally charge a £100 late filing penalty straight away.
  • Further penalties and interest can build up if your return is more than 3, 6 or 12 months late, and if tax is unpaid.

Even if you’ve missed the 31 January deadline, it’s better to get the self assessment tax return filed as soon as possible. We can help limit extra penalties and put things back on track.
