Self Assessment Taxpayers Penalty Extension

Due to the ongoing pressures of the Covid-19 Pandemic, HMRC has announced that they will not be charging the 5% late payment penalty if you either pay your tax or set up a payment plan by 1 April 2021.

What to do

Taxpayers are able to pay their tax bill or set up a monthly payment plan at GOV.UK and will need to be complete this by midnight on 1 April to prevent being charged the late payment penalty.

There is the online Time to Pay facility which allows taxpayers to spread the cost of their Self Assessment tax bill into monthly instalments until January 2022.
