HMRC released figures last week indicating that some 3.8 million tax returns were yet to be filed before the 31 January deadline.

In total, they are expecting more than 12.1 million tax returns to be filed. With a week to go, they had received 8.3 million online returns, leaving a lot of activity for the final week.

Myrtle Lloyd, HMRC’s Director General for Customer Services, encouraged anyone still to file that “now is the time to take action and get your return done.” Penalties for late filing and interest on tax owed provide additional incentives for doing as he urged.
