Tax return blues - would a bit of solidarity help?

[Tooter]

I think I've done it... not submitted it yet though. Wasn't expecting the additional class 4 National insurance payment too....luckily I have been strictly putting money away with every payment. So glad I did that

It would be really nice to show all my income/expenditure breakdown and calculation summary to an accountant just to confirm all is well and see if I may have missed anything. Called an accountant today but understandingly they are mental busy and never called me back

Almost smiling

I'm slowly getting there, thanks to my shiny new calculator.

Paid the self assessment, had put it aside in a separate account, there is now £18 left in there

Still, done my bit, and all that.

You can amend your itr up to a year after submitting it.

HMRC has a youtube channel and at gov.uk there is webchat option where you can quiz them (they may have to escalate it and get a tier 2 response) about stuff.

There are also non-hmrc videos on tax returns/self employment etc. which can be easily searched on youtube. Reddit can also be enlightening.

Well, I’m not chipping into the crowdfunder for your fine.

If I owe £1.80 and I don't pay it, will I get fined £100? I seemed to owe a tiny bit and I can't remember if I paid it.

 

[Judelo]

Well, only two minutes twenty five and a half seconds late. That is quite good going by my standards. I'm definitely appealling this time though if they fine, on the grounds it logged me out while checking the figures (and getting slightly confused about dates)..

Was actually sraight forward logging in, but i had the gateway ID written down from last year (and it worked!)

Well done all btw

So long as your Return was in by the deadline you won’t get a fine. HMRC won’t chase you for non-payment of £1.80. It’ll just sit on your account.

The £100 is for late filing not late payment.

Late payment penalties are applied to any outstanding tax over £800. Late payment penalties are 5% (of any tax not poas) still outstanding after 30 days, then 5% again after 6 months and then again after 12 months. Although we'll have caught you before that

We will not contact you for £1.80 as it costs £2.50 for us to process a payment. You will not have any financial penalties although you may get interest charged at 3.25% a year.

Just add it to your next bill if you get one.

edited to clarify there are no late payment penalties for poas, only tax. For poas we only require your firstborn.

Filed my return ages ago. Forgot to pay my tax. Just realised it was overdue

Oops. Have you paid it now?

 

[billy_bob]

Oops. Have you paid it now?

Nah, fuck em

 

[DexterTCN]

Did you get a late payment letter this week or have you forgotten to pay your tax?

Call us by Friday or the penalties and escalations start next week. Avoidable penalties are burning money, your money. Arrangements can be made to help.

Have a nice day

I got a £27 refund this year .... woohoo the tide is turning

The subject line of their circular email today - 'This record collection is a must' - has really failed to amuse me or endear them to me or make me think they're really cool as they presumably hoped it would.

You get a circular email from HMRC? I don't and now feel cheated.

Don't: feel fortunate.

(I've probably just failed at some point to tick a box marked 'please do not hassle my inbox with tedious videos about how not to defraud the government')

Doesn't sound like us. I wouldn't be clicking on any links in it.
