UK Tax 2006-07 Self Assessment Tax Return Filing Deadlines - 31st Jan 2008
With the new tax year starting, this is a good time for a reminder of the key self assessment deadlines for the 2006-07 tax year, to ensure you plan well ahead and don't miss the key dates and end up with extra work or penalties.
Key points are -
1. You must file your tax return with the Inland Revenue AND make payment by midnight Wednesday 31st of January 2008 to avoid penalty charges.
2. Failure to file your self assessment tax return by midnight 31st January 08 will result in an automatic £100 fine.
3. Ensure that you have all the necessary forms that need to be completed. If not then visit your local tax office to get them.
4. If you are completing by hardcopy, then hand deliver the report to your local tax office rather than rely on the post.
5. To complete the form online you must already be registered for online self assessment, if you are not already registered then it is now too late to file your tax return on line as it can take 1 to 2 weeks to obtain your password for online access to the Inland Revenue portal.
6. If you are registered to file your return online then try not to leave it until the last day, when demand for the Inland Revenue website will be high, with some 9 million returns expected and approximately half filed online. Also note - NOT ALL forms can be completed online, so double check now rather than leaving until the last minute.
A summary of the key Tax Dates for the Tax Year ending 2006-07.

So in total you now have some 10 months to complete your self assessment returns. Make a plan, of what you are going to do when, i.e. you could start this month by making sure you have all your receipts and paperwork at hand. Then use an excel spreadsheet to list them all. Don't leave it until the 31st of Jan 08, only to find out that the civil servants have gone on strike again !
