Self assessment tax warning – even if you’ve not filed yet, pay ASAP to avoid being charged interest

Around 1.8 million taxpayers who need to complete an online self-assessment return missed the 31 January deadline, new HMRC figures show. If that’s you, the good news is you’ll be spared the usual £100 late-filing fine if you do it by 28 February – but if you’ve failed to pay any outstanding tax on time, you will still be charged interest from 1 February, so settle your account as soon as possible
