Did you know that you can file your self assessment tax return early? In fact, you can submit your return as early as the 6th April each year \u2013 and we\u2019ve got six good reasons why you should.<\/strong><\/p>\n The deadline for submitting your tax return on paper each year is 31st October; the online submission and payment deadline is 31st January. With more than nine months to get it done, you might be wondering \u2013 why the rush? Well, here\u2019s six reasons why:<\/p>\n If you\u2019re filing a self assessment tax return for the first time, it\u2019s important to know that you need to register with HMRC before you can submit anything. This isn\u2019t an instant process \u2013 register online<\/a> as soon as possible, as it can take around ten days to receive your Unique Taxpayer Reference (UTR) Number.<\/p>\n You then need to request an activation code in order to log in to your HMRC account. Keep in mind that the closer to the deadline you register, the busier HMRC will be \u2013 so the process could take longer.<\/p>\n The longer you wait to submit your tax return, the further back you\u2019ll have to go to retrieve the information you need. If you wait until January 2021, you will need to go back almost two years to April 2019. This could make some things more difficult and time-consuming; for example, some online banking platforms only provide statements going back 12 or 15 months.<\/p>\n If you file your tax return early you also have less chance of losing or accidently throwing away any important forms, invoices, or receipts. The process will be less stressful if you don\u2019t have to chase up or track down paperwork copies and you\u2019ll also be able to claim any allowable expenses.<\/p>\n Filing your tax return early does not mean that you have to pay the balance of tax due at the same time. You still have until 31st January to pay the balance of your tax and your first payment on account, if applicable.<\/p>\n What it does mean is that you know your tax liability earlier, so you can plan ahead, budget and save in order to make your January payment. If you leave it all until January and then find that you can\u2019t afford to pay HMRC you\u2019ll receive an immediate \u00a3100 fine. Additional increasing fines will be levied the longer your payment is outstanding.<\/p>\n It\u2019s worth noting that you can choose to defer your second payment on account this year, payable on 31st July 2020. This is as part of the UK Government\u2019s COVID-19 support for businesses<\/a> and deferral is until 31st January 2021. While this might help with cashflow in the short term it does mean that you\u2019re likely to have a larger tax bill to pay in January. This makes having an accurate note of your tax liability and the time to budget and save even more important.<\/p>\n The earlier you file your tax return, the earlier you\u2019ll receive any refund on the tax you\u2019ve paid. The closer to the submission deadline, the longer you can expect your refund to take.<\/p>\n Receiving any refund due to you sooner means the money is in your account, not sitting with HMRC, and will help with your cashflow. This could be particularly important as markets begin their slow recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic.<\/p>\n Submitting your self assessment return in good time means that you\u2019re not rushing through it, you\u2019re under less pressure, and you\u2019ve less chance of making a mistake \u2013 and mistakes can be costly.<\/p>\n In January 2020 HMRC reported<\/a> that more than three million people had still to submit their return with just a week to the deadline \u2013 and almost a million then missed the deadline altogether. Be certain to beat last-minute rush, so there\u2019s less pressure on the online platform. HMRC will also be able to respond faster, should you need their assistance.<\/p>\n Being well ahead of the deadline also means there\u2019s no chance of receiving HMRC\u2019s fines for late submission. That immediate \u00a3100 fine quickly builds the later you are \u2013 and can top \u00a31,600.<\/p>\n Having your tax return done is something crossed off your \u2018to do\u2019 list, leaving you more time and energy to focus on your business, your family, or your own needs. Leaving it until later in the year means you could be worrying about it for longer. Don\u2019t let the stress ruin the festive season for you either, unlike the 12,257 people who submitted their tax returns on Christmas Day and Boxing Day 2019!<\/p>\n If you file your tax return early, you\u2019ll have a clear picture of your tax liability for the following year, and the opportunity to consider any tax planning opportunities. While we all need to pay our tax fairly, you need to ensure that your business is able to take advantage of any appropriate tax strategies. These might include Corporation Tax and Employer National Insurance Tax relief on pension contributions, capital allowances on qualifying assets or considering how and when you extract profit from a limited company.<\/p>\n We\u2019re here right now to help you file your tax return early \u2013 in fact, we specialise in the fast completion of tax returns.
