MORE than 2,700 customers filed their Self Assessment tax return on Christmas Day, HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) have revealed.
The peak time for completing tax returns was 2pm to 2.59pm, with more than 200 customers pressing send on their online form.
The Self Assessment deadline is on January 31. Customers can complete their tax returns online ahead of the deadline and at a time that suits them. Every year, HMRC sees thousands of customers using the festive period to get their documents in order and complete the task.
Once Self Assessment customers have completed their 2019 to 2020 tax return, and know how much tax is owed, they can set up their own payment plan to help spread the cost of their tax liabilities, up to the value of £30,000. They can use the self-serve Time to Pay facility to set up monthly direct debits online. Interest will be applied to any outstanding balance from February 1.
