January 2015 saw the usual period of collating those last minute tax returns but for the tenth year running, we achieved a 100% submission for those returns where we had received all the necessary information. Unfortunately there were a very small number of clients who for numerous reasons could not get information to us and who will unfortunately be receiving a £100 automatic penalty and a further penalty for late payment of any tax falling due for payment.
We urge every client to collate their information in good time before the January 31 deadline and now is a good time to put a note in the diary to let us have any information before Christmas.
