Self assessment

The term 'self assessment' is proving to be one of the great misnomers of all time.

Many taxpayers struggle to understand their tax returns or fail to complete them correctly.

The first year after “self assessment” was brought in, 775,000 taxpayers received £100 penalties for failing to submit their returns on time. Some 400,000 also incurred penalties because their returns were still outstanding six months later!

Tax returns are becoming more difficult to understand and taxpayers risk incurring penalties by failing to complete their returns correctly or on time.
