What penalties do HMRC charge?
The current penalty regime for late filing of your self assessment tax return is as follows:
-
1 day late – A fixed penalty of £100. Even if you have no tax liability, if you file your return even one day late you will receive this fine.
-
3 months late – £10 for each following day for up to 90 days i.e. a maximum of £900. This is in addition to the £100 fixed penalty above.
-
6 months late – A fixed £300 or 5% of the tax due, whichever is the higher. Again this is on top of the penalties above.
-
12 months late – Another fixed £300 or 5% of the tax due, whichever is the higher. In serious cases you may be asked to pay up to 100% of the tax due instead. Again these are in addition to all the penalties above.
So if you’re 12 months late submitting your tax return, you may be facing a penalty of £1600 - even if you owed no tax!
