Around 3.4 million people have been called to submit their tax return as the self-assessment deadline rapidly approaches.
According HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC), nearly 8.7 million taxpayers have already filed their tax returns. If those due to file in their tax return have not done so within a week, they will face an initial fine of £100 which could be followed by further penalties.
If people are unable to pay what they owe in full, they may be able to set up a payment plan to make things easier while avoiding any fines. Such plans allow taxpayers to spread the cost into manageable monthly instalments.
