Tax trivia
Self assessment key dates
If you completed a paper Tax Return for 2006-07 and sent it back by 30 September 2007, HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC) will:
• Calculate your tax
• Tell you what to pay by 31 January 2008
• Collect tax through your tax code, if possible, where you owe less than £2,000
If HMRC received your paper Tax Return after 30 September and process it by 30 December, they will still calculate your tax and endeavour to collect tax through your tax code but they can't guarantee to tell you what to pay by 31 January 2008.
If you were sent a Tax Return by 31 October 2007, the deadline for sending back your completed 2006-07 Tax Return is 31 January 2008.
If you were sent a Tax Return by 31 October 2007, you will be charged a penalty of £100 if HMRC have not received your return by 1 February 2008.
The new tax year starts 6 April 2008. A Tax Return or Notice to Complete a Tax Return (SA316) will be sent out to all those who meet the criteria to get a Tax Return each year.
