A record 97% of taxpayers in the UK filed their 2021-22 self-assessment tax returns ahead of the 31st January deadline, but an estimated 600,000 still missed the deadline, earning instant £100 late filing penalties.
Of the 12,060,872 self-assessment tax returns due for the 2021-22 financial year, 11,733,465 were filed on time. Of those, 3,275 were filed on Christmas Day, with the peak hour on 31st January being 4-5pm, when 68,462 returns were received by HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC).
The deadline for filing paper tax returns was 31st October, but 10,965,993 taxpayers chose to complete their forms electronically, representing 96.2% of all tax returns filed, by the January cut-off date.
Andy Gibbs, Head of Group Technical at TaxAssist Accountants, said: “If you have missed the deadline to submit a 2021-22 self-assessment tax return, it’s vital that you contact your accountant or HMRC as soon as you can.
“They will be able to work out if you have a legitimate reason for failing to meet your self-assessment obligations on time.
“If you don’t have a reasonable excuse an accountant can work with you to prepare your tax return as soon as possible to avoid accumulating further late filing penalties.
“It may be that you are not required to file a tax return, meaning your accountant can help you cancel any filing requirements.”
Self-assessment tax returns in figures
• 12,060,872 self-assessment tax returns due for 2021-22
• HMRC estimates 600,000 taxpayers missed the deadline
• 11,733,465 (97.3%) returns received by 31st January, including expected returns, unsolicited returns and late registrations

All businesses are required to keep financial records under the rules of Self-Assessment. The easiest method is by a simple cash book system showing income and expenditure. This can be done manually or by computerised systems.
You need to understand where income is coming from and where expenses are going. A business is about producing profit and generating cash. How do you know when this happening or not? If there is no control mechanism the chances are, you will not know until it is too late.
The workshop will explain how to structure and use financial records, develop a monitoring system and be aware of actions that should be taken.
The session will also give you a gentle introduction to tax (including vat and national insurance), and alert you to some issues that you will need to know for your new business.

As part of Norwich City Council’s aim to make Norwich a prosperous city with decent housing for all, we are renewing our housing strategy to respond to the changes and challenges taking place in the housing market. We particularly want to examine the influence housing has on economic prosperity, health and wellbeing.
Challenges facing Norwich include:
making provision for significant growth in housing and employment
making the most of opportunities presented by the new emphasis on local issues and decision-making, rather than simply responding to national and regional priorities
social housing reforms
cuts in government funding requiring us to identify new ways of supplying affordable housing
a significant proportion of privately-owned homes in poor condition
the effect of welfare reform and housing benefit changes on people’s ability to meet their housing needs
the call for more jobs and training opportunities
a growing demand for privately rented homes leading to higher rents
If you believe that you could help us to inform and shape our strategy, we would like to invite you to a workshop on 19 September 2012, between 2pm and 4pm, at the Kings Centre, King Street, Norwich.
We want to hear different perspectives on the importance of and how to respond to the above challenges. We hope that you, or a nominated representative, will be able to attend.
Please indicate your attendance by 14 September 2012 by emailingstrategichousing@norwich.gov.ukand tell us whether you have any access or additional requirements. Further details, including the programme, will be sent to you nearer the time.
To help you to prepare,please see the attached document which summarises some key housing facts.

Your accounts are a valuable tool that not only tell you how well your business has performed but also why it performed as it did and, most importantly, what you can do to improve performance. This will not only enable you to increase profits but will also assist in your relationship with your Accountant and Bank.
However, understanding accounts is not a skill that comes naturally to everyone. It does need to be acquired.Thereforethis course has been designed to plug that all important gap and send you back to the office fully armed with the skills and tools you need to make better financial decisions and drive your business forwards.
• This June, the Hope On The Move sponsored challenge is raising funds to help end homelessness across East Anglia; • Participants can take part individually or in teams to cover part of the total challenge distance of 16,696 miles – equivalent to the number of people experiencing homelessness in the region; • The challenge is open to everyone and people can cover their miles in whatever form they like, from walking to roller skating.
This June, people in Norfolk are being invited to take a step forward to end homelessness by joining the Hope On The Move sponsored challenge.
Participants will be able to take part individually, or team up to cover part of the challenge’s goal of 16,696 miles – 1 mile for every person experiencing homelessness in the region.
The fundraising event is being organised by Hopestead, the charity with the mission of ending homelessness in the east of England, to raise funds and connect people safely after a difficult and isolating time.
Starting on 1 June and running until the 30 June, Hope On The Move is designed for absolutely everyone, and participants are encouraged to join in in whatever way they would like – walking, running, cycling, roller skating, or horse riding – the list is endless.
Marie Claire-Delbrouque, MD of Hopestead said: “As restrictions ease, many of us can look forward to being reunited with our families and friends in each other’s homes. But life remains the same for those experiencing homelessness.
“There are almost 17,000 people who are currently experiencing homelessness in our region and through Hope On The Move, we want to raise funds towards delivering our vision of ending homelessness in the East of England.
“We know that by working together – with individuals and organisations that share our commitment – we can achieve our ambitious goal. Because everyone deserves a place to call home.”
Gasway is the headline sponsor for Hope on the Move and Nick Bartram, Gasway’s Managing Director said: “Gasway has always supported the communities we serve. We’re delighted to be the headline sponsor for Hopestead’s new initiative, Hope on the Move.
“We understand the importance of having a home, especially one that is safe and warm which feels even more important now than ever before. I’m really looking forward to seeing everyone in our communities getting involved with this.”
Participants can sign up for just £15 and all details can be found on the Hopestead website (www.hopestead.org).
Every ticket purchased and every donation received will go directly to those who are at risk of or currently experiencing homelessness in East Anglia. And everyone taking part will receive a medal upon completion of the event
Marie Claire Delbrouque commented: “After the last year, it is even more important to create a sense of belonging for everyone in our communities.
“Our Hope On The Move challenge will help to create that connection, and bring people together – safely – to raise funds, get fit, have fun, and step out in support of those who are experiencing homelessness.”
