Self-Assessment tax deadline fast approaching
Anyone completing their 2009/10 Self-Assessment tax return on paper has been reminded to return their completed form to HM Revenue & Customs by midnight on 31 October.
Missing this deadline could result in an automatic £100 penalty.
An alternative to paper filing is to file your tax return online – as three-quarters of Self Assessment filers already do. Those submitting tax returns online also get an extra three months, as the online submission deadline is not until 31 January 2011.
• Find more information and register for online filing at the HMRC website or call 0845 9000 444.
