HMRC have reported that a record number of people- nearly 300,000 - have already filed their 2024–25 tax return, just weeks into the new tax year. While the deadline isn’t until 31 January 2026, it’s worth thinking about it sooner rather than later.
Filing early can have a few helpful benefits:
- More time to budget: Knowing what you owe means you can plan ahead or spread the cost through regular payments.
- Faster refunds: If you’ve overpaid, you’ll get your money back sooner.
- Less pressure later on: Getting things sorted now avoids the January rush.
