New Tax Penalties Come in to Force
Tax penalties – A new fining regime, charging up to £1,600 for late filing, will be implemented by HMRC on Friday 17, 2012.
As from previous years, the penalty for missing the Self Assessment deadline is £100. Now though, there will be a £10 a day fine from May lasting for 90 days, £300 on 1 August or 5 percent of tax due (whichever is more costly) and the same penalty on 1 February 2013.
For the first time, fines are no longer capped to prevent penalties being due by those with no tax liability. This means that someone with no tax liability or due a rebate could face a fine of £1,600.
This move comes after last year’s figures showed that around 1.1 million tax payers had still not submitted their Returns six months after the deadline.
