With the end of year quickly nearing, now is the time for contractors to start thinking about having their taxes in order prepared for the approaching deadline from HMRC.
The deadline for returning your online tax return is midnight on January 31st and if you forget this date you will be expected to pay a penalty to the HMRC even though you do not owe any money or have already repaid anything you owe.
If your return is only one day late, you will automatically need to pay a £100 fixed penalty and there is a scale of additional penalties based on how late the tax return is. If it’s up to three months late, you’ll need to pay £10 each day up to a maximum of £900 and then there are even more fees to pay if it is any later than this.
As well as the deadline of January 31, there is an earlier deadline of December 30th if you want any taxes you owe obtained via your tax code, that may be done if you owe less than £3,000, so if you have not yet began to think about completing the document it is now time to.
Completing a tax return can be time consuming and a lot of contractors find that they simply don’t have the time to fill out the forms. A good way of dealing with your taxes would be to hire the accountancy services of specialist contractor accountants like Nixon Williams who could prepare your tax return for you on your behalf so you can be certain that things are fully completed well in time of the deadline.
