Under one month until Self Assessment tax return deadline

HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) has announced there is less than a month to go until the deadline to file a tax return for customers deciding to submit through the Self Assessment path.

HMRC said around 5.4 million Self Assessment customers are yet to complete their tax return ahead of the deadline on 31 January.

The agency expects 12.1 million tax returns to be filed this year. Around 55 per cent have already filed their returns, with more than 6.2 million choosing to submit online (93 per cent of all returns filed).

Almost 18,000 customers chose to start the New Year by filing their tax returns on 1 January, with 1,943 completing their returns between 15:00 and 15:59.
