Self Assessment 14% jump in HMRC fines
12/07/2019
If you file your self assessment tax return late you will receive an automatic penalty of £100. This increases after 3 months at a rate of £10.00 per day up to £900.00! Plus penalties start at 5% of the sum owed!
In the year 2016/17 331,000 people were fined by HMRC for later filing an increase from 291,000 in the previous year. That's a 14% jump!
HMRC are now far less sympathetic to excuses, HMRC points out that if customers are unable to pay on time they should contact HMRC as soon as possible to set up a payment plan.
