New Self Assessment Deadline

HMRC have issued a reminder to anyone filing a Self Assessment tax return for the tax year 6 April 2007 to 5 April 2008 that the date for submission of all paper tax returns is now 31 October 2008.

Previously, both paper and online Self Assessment tax returns had to be filed by 31 January. But from this year, paper returns must be with HMRC by 31 October, or you could face a £100 penalty. The deadline for filing online returns remains 31 January. Once you've filed your return, any tax due has to be paid by 31 January, whether you file on paper or online.

Help and advice on completing Self Assessment tax returns is available on the HMRC website at http://www.hmrc.gov.uk/sa or from the Self Assessment helpline on 0845 9000 444, which is open seven days a week from 8am to 8pm.
