Individual taxpayers who are yet to submit their 2011/12 self-assessment tax return are reminded that they will be hit by increasing penalties from next month.

The online deadline for filing self-assessment returns for the 2011/12 tax year was 31 January. Individuals that missed this deadline will have already received an initial £100 late-filing penalty.

From 1 May, there will be an additional daily £10 penalty for each day the online return is late, up to a maximum of 90 days.

For paper returns, which were due by the 31 October deadline, daily penalties began on 1 February.

Further penalties of at least £300 – or five per cent of the tax due, whichever is the greater – will then be issued for returns that are six and 12 months late.

So if you have still to file your 2011/12 self assessment tax return then you need to take action as quickly as possible because in this instance time definitely means money!!!!!!
