Taxes - Late Filing Penalties

If you are contractor, freelancer and small business owner in the UK, it's staggeringly vital to monitor your filing and payment due dates, as well as changing tax rates and thresholds.

HMRC has two categories of penalties for Self Assessment .

1:- Late filing of annual tax Returns

2:- For late payment of the Income Tax and NI Contributions reported on the tax return.

Penalties for late Self Assessment tax return

1:- Missed Due Date – £100 fine

2:- 3 months late – £10 day by day penalty for up to 90 days

3:- 6 months late – 5% of due tax amount

4:- 12 months late – 5% of due tax amount

Penalties for late payment of Self Assessment tax bill

1:- 30 days late – 5% of assessment due

2:- 6 months late – 5% of assessment due at that date

3:- 12 months – 5% of tax assessment due at that date

The penalty is multiplied if your records are late two years in succession.

Limited Companies - You can be fined and your organization struck off the register in the event that you don't send Companies House your accounts or yearly return.
