These apply to returns due on or before 31 January 2027. A new points-based system applies to all Self Assessment taxpayers from April 2027.
| How late | Penalty |
|---|---|
| 1 day late | £100 fixed penalty, even if no tax is due |
| 3 months late | £10 a day for up to 90 days (up to £900) |
| 6 months late | A further 5% of the tax due or £300, whichever is higher |
| 12 months late | Another 5% or £300, or more if information was deliberately withheld |
For online returns due on 31 January, a £100 penalty applies the day after the deadline, even if you owe no tax. Further penalties build up after three, six and twelve months. Late payment penalties and interest are charged separately on any tax paid late.
Yes, if you had a reasonable excuse, such as serious illness, bereavement or an HMRC system failure, and filed as soon as possible afterwards. Appeals should normally be made within 30 days of the penalty notice. We review your circumstances honestly and prepare the appeal if it is justified.
You can ask HMRC for a time-to-pay arrangement to spread the bill. Acting early, before enforcement action, makes agreement much more likely.
A points-based late filing system and new late payment penalties will apply to everyone filing Self Assessment from April 2027, and already apply to those in Making Tax Digital. Getting up to date now means starting the new system with a clean record.
If income was never declared, rather than just filed late, see our HMRC tax disclosure service.
