What is the deadline for filing my taxes?

Asked a year ago
The deadline for filing taxes in the UK varies depending on the filing method. For individuals using self-assessment, the deadline to submit an online tax return and pay any taxes owed is usually 31 January following the end of the tax year. For paper tax returns, the deadline is usually 31 October. However, it's important to note that these deadlines may differ for specific circumstances or in case you need to register for self-assessment. Make sure to check HMRC's website or consult with a tax professional for the most accurate and up-to-date information regarding your specific situation. Failing to meet the deadline may result in penalties, interest, or potential legal implications, so it's crucial to file your taxes on time.
