Self assessment: 31 October deadline

Andrew Goodall

HMRC has published guidance to help tax agents to manage the 31 October self assessment deadline. The guidance says:

‘If you send in a paper tax return it must reach HMRC by midnight on 31 October. The deadline for paper tax returns is only later than 31 October if:

you receive the notice to file your tax return after the 31 July. In this case you'll have three months from the date you receive the notice if you want to send in a paper return;
you're completing a paper return because there's no software available to file your tax return online (for example non-resident companies) or you've been told by HMRC that you're not allowed to file online. In these cases you'll have until 31 January to send in your return.’
