HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) is reminding customers who need to complete a tax return for the 2021 to 2022 tax year to let them know by Wednesday October 5, 2022. HMRC has said customers can do this by registering for Self Assessment.
However, before people can complete their first tax return, they need to register with HMRC to receive their Unique Taxpayer Reference (UTR) - a return cannot be filed without this. The tax return deadline for the 2021 to 2022 tax year is October 31, 2022 for those completed on paper forms, and January 31, 2023 for online returns.
HMRC is encouraging customers to plan ahead to give themselves the best chance to complete their Self Assessment on time. Customers who file early will benefit from knowing what they owe, allowing them to budget and pay at a time that suits them and if they are due a refund, they could get it back quicker.
