HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) is today (27 August) reminding anyone who needs to complete a Self Assessment tax return for the first time to cover the 2023 to 2024 tax year, to tell HMRC by 5 October.

Further information can be found on GOV.​UK and anyone who is unsure if they need to file Self Assessment can use the free online tool on GOV.​UK to check.

HMRC has a wide range of resources to help customers register for Self Assessment, including video tutorials on YouTube and help and support on GOV.​UK.

The deadlines for tax returns for the 2023 to 2024 tax year are 31 October for paper returns and 31 January 2025 for online returns.

Councils are encouraged to share this information as appropriate.
