If you did not submit your 2024/25 Self Assessment tax return by the 31 January 2026 deadline, you’re likely to receive a £100 HMRC late filing penalty — even if you didn’t owe any tax. But don’t panic — you can remedy the position quickly, and our tax experts are here to help.
Act Now to Avoid Bigger HMRC Penalties
The £100 fine is just the beginning.
HMRC late penalties increase if your return remains outstanding:
- 3 months late: Daily penalties of £10 per day (up to £900)
- 6 months late: Additional 5% of tax owed or £300 (whichever is greater)
- 12 months late: Further 5% of tax due or £300 more
Filing your tax return now stops the clock and limits how much you owe. The sooner you act, the more you save.
If you could not file the tax return, due to an unexpected issue, then you may have a reasonable excuse and can appeal the penalties.
