Harsher rules on late Tax Return penalties

 

Written by Ray Coman

 

HMRC have toughened the penalty system for late tax returns. With effect from the tax year ended 5 April 2011, automatic penalties now apply regardless of your tax liability. As such, even if you have no liability, or were due a refund, you are still liable to a minimum £100 if you were supposed to file a Tax Return and have missed the deadline. Penalties increase more sharply where a tax return is over three months late.

You are welcome.

The article was written in January 2012 shortly after the introduction of the new rules, so I am not sure about 'finally.'

However I appreciate the compliment.

It is worth adding that penalties are not capped.
