HMRC reminds self assessment customers about deadline  

HMRC is urging customers to get their self assessment tax return done before the 31 January deadline.

More than 12 million customers are expected to file a tax return for the 2021 to 2022 tax year and pay any tax owed by 31 January deadline. To date, almost 8.7 million customers have already filed their tax return.

Last year, more than 10.2 million customers filed their tax returns for the 2020 to 2021 tax year by the deadline on 31 January 2022.

Myrtle Lloyd, Director General for Customer Services, said: “Time is running out for millions of people who still need to file their self assessment and pay any tax owed.

“There’s no need for customers to call us, they can save time and search ‘self assessment’ on gov.uk for a wealth of information and resources to help them complete their tax return.”

Resources on gov.uk include guidance, webinars, and YouTube videos.
