Late filing penalty will apply to a return filed after 31 January even if there is no tax to pay

Taxpayers who need to file a tax return online for the first time need to sign up for HMRC’s online service today, 21 January, HMRC said in a press release issued last Thursday.

Earlier this month HMRC reminded first-time filers that once they have registered it can take up to seven working days for their activation code to reach them in the post. ‘People who’ve filed online before, but have lost their password or user ID and need a replacement, should also contact HMRC by [21 January],’ the department said.

A series of webinars on self-assessment, aimed at the newly self-employed, is available on the HMRC website.
