Is it possible to cancel HMRC Late Filing Penalty?
HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) must receive your tax return and any money you owe by the deadline.
The deadline for filing your tax return is 31 October for paper forms and 31 January for online returns. You must pay your tax bill by 31 January.
You’ll get a penalty if you need to send a tax return and you miss the deadline for submitting it or paying your bill.
You’ll pay a late filing penalty of £100 if your tax return is up to 3 months late. You’ll have to pay more if it’s later, or if you pay your tax bill late.
You’ll be charged interest on late payments.
Late filing penalties can be cancelled if you have a ‘reasonable excuse’ for filing late. You should file your tax return before making your appeal against the late filing penalties.
