📢 SELF ASSESSMENT 2025/26 – DON'T MISS YOUR TAX RETURN DEADLINE! 🇬🇧
🧾 The 2025/26 UK tax year ended on 5 April 2026, and now is the time to make sure your Self Assessment tax return is completed and submitted to HMRC.
Whether you're self-employed, a landlord or earning additional income, you may be required to submit a tax return.
⏰ IMPORTANT SELF ASSESSMENT DEADLINES
📅 31 October 2026 – Deadline for submitting paper tax returns.
📅 31 January 2027 – Deadline for submitting online tax returns and paying any outstanding tax, including the first Payment on Account where applicable.
👨💼 WHO NEEDS TO COMPLETE A SELF ASSESSMENT TAX RETURN?
You may need to submit a tax return if you are:
✔️ Self-Employed / Sole Trader – If your gross trading income exceeded £1,000 during the tax year.
✔️ CIS Subcontractor – If you work in the construction industry and need to declare your earnings and account for CIS deductions.
✔️ Landlord – If you receive rental income that needs to be declared to HMRC.
✔️ Limited Company Director – If you receive income that must be reported through Self Assessment. Being a company director alone does not automatically mean you need to submit a return.
✔️ Earning Additional Income – Including certain income from side businesses, investments, dividends or overseas sources.
✔️ Higher-Income Taxpayer – If your circumstances mean HMRC requires you to complete a Self Assessment return.
💷 WHY SHOULD YOU FILE YOUR TAX RETURN EARLY?
✅ Avoid the last-minute January rush.
✅ Find out how much tax you owe well in advance.
✅ Receive any tax refund you're entitled to sooner.
✅ Allow more time to gather documents and resolve discrepancies.
✅ Plan your finances and upcoming tax payments with confidence.
⚠️ IMPORTANT!
Missing the filing deadline can result in an initial £100 late-filing penalty, even if you have no tax to pay. Further penalties may apply if your return remains outstanding.
