5.4 million yet to file their tax return
Over five million people have yet to file their self-assessment tax return, with just days to go before the deadline.
HMRC figures show that as of 5.30am on January 6, 2025, 5,424,500 taxpayers still need to submit their return. The deadline for filing is midnight on 31 January.
If you miss the deadline, you will be charged a £100 penalty. This will increase to £10 a day from 6 April, up to a maximum of £900. You may also have to pay interest on any tax you owe.
To file your tax return, you will need your Unique Taxpayer Reference (UTR) and National Insurance number. You can find these on your payslips, P60 or tax credits renewal letter.
You can file your tax return online or by post. If you are filing online, you will need to register for an online Government Gateway account.
