People in Dorset who are self-employed or run a small business are reminded they have just a week left to complete their Self Assessment tax returns and pay any tax owed.
HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) says the deadline to complete a 2017/18 tax return online is 11.59pm on January 31.
An extra 25,000 customers have already filed their Self Assessment, compared to this time last year. HMRC is reminding customers that if their tax return is late, they will receive a £100 penalty – even if they do not owe any tax. The longer the delay, the more they will have to pay.
People who fear they may miss the deadline should contact HMRC. Help is available on GOV.UK, from the Self Assessment helpline on 0300 200 3310 and on social media.
