Tax Liability and Self Assessment Tax Return Deadlines - 31st January 2010

If you are filing your tax return online it must reach HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) by midnight on Sunday 31st January 2010.

If you received the notice to file your tax return after 31st October, you will have three months from the date you received your notice to file your return online.

Payment of taxation liabilities for the year ending 5th April 2009 must also be with HMRC by the 31st January 2010. Payments must be made at a HMRC accounts office, rather than a tax office.

Penalties apply for companies and individuals failing to meet these deadlines. If you require assistance with any of the above please get in touch immediately.

Please contact Peter Hogan at Darlington, Nicola Bellerby at Durham or Terry Doyle at York.
