Now that most firms of Accountants can breathe with the 31 January self-assessment deadline behind us, HMRC have announced the stats for this year.<\/p>\n
Apparently a record number of self-assessment returns were filed by the 31 January 2019 deadline (10,833,177 out of a total of 11,564,363 which were due) = 94% were filed on time and over 90% were filed online (this will no doubt only increase).<\/p>\n
However, this does mean that the number of taxpayers missing the deadline remains high at 731,186 (with the likelihood of receiving an automatic \u00a3100 late filing penalty).<\/p>\n
Not that those who filed their returns left it to the last minute, 735,258 returns were filed on 31 January with the peak filing hour being 16:00-17:00!<\/p>\n
I get the feeling people were keen to get home on time that day\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026.<\/p>\n
There is no reason why your tax return should be filed so late, so do feel free to contact us at Barnes Roffe if we can help you with this.<\/p>\n
