answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 01/02/2021 answer text <p>In recent weeks the Government has received representations on extending the Self-Assessment deadline date.

While taxpayers were encouraged to file their tax return by 31 January 2021 if possible, anyone who could not file their return by the 31 January deadline will not receive a late filing penalty if they file online by 28 February 2021.</p><p> </p><p>Taxpayers’ other Self-Assessment obligations are unchanged, including the obligation to pay their bill by 31 January 2021.</p><p> </p><p>Anyone having difficulty paying their tax bill, whether they have received financial support from the Government or not, can use HMRC’s Time to Pay (TTP) service once they have filed their return.</p> answering member constituency Hereford and South Herefordshire answering member printed Jesse Norman question first answered 01/02/2021 16:55:16 answering member 3991 label Biography information for Jesse Norman

However, HMRC are committed to helping all taxpayers pay their tax liabilities. Anyone having difficulty paying their tax bill by 31 January 2021, whether they have received financial support from the Government or not, can use HMRC’s automated self-serve Time to Pay (TTP) online service once they have filed their return.</p><p> </p><p>For liabilities up to £30,000, taxpayers can set up an instalment arrangement online without having to contact HMRC beforehand. TTP is still available for taxpayers with liabilities exceeding £30,000, but they must contact HMRC to make the necessary arrangements.</p> answering member constituency Hereford and South Herefordshire answering member printed Jesse Norman question first answered 01/02/2021 16:51:46 answering member 3991 label Biography information for Jesse Norman
