Kevin Sefton at untied, a tax app, said it was pleased HMRC had listened to the calls to effectively extend the filing deadline by one month. The move was welcomed by many commentators. We can reasonably assume most of these people will have a valid reason for filing late, caused by the pandemic.” Jim Harra, the HMRC’s chief executive, said: “Not charging late filing penalties for late online tax returns submitted in February will give the breathing space they need to complete and file their returns, without worrying about receiving a penalty. However, the government department said it was still encouraging people to file by 31 January if possible, adding that taxpayers were still obliged to pay any tax that they owe for the year by 31 January and that interest would be applied to any outstanding balance from 1 February. That leaves 3.2 million who had just a few days left. HMRC expects more than 12.1 million people to complete a tax return this tax year, and disclosed on Monday that, to date, “more than 8.9 million” had done so.
