HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) have reported that 298,905 people filed their Self Assessment tax return in the first week of the tax year, with a record total of 737,891 returns being filed during the month of April 2026.
More than 12 million tax returns are due to be filed by 31 January 2027, so there are still plenty of returns to be filed yet.
As a reminder, here are some of the key benefits to providing us with your information early so we can file your tax return ahead of January's deadline;
🐦 Early Knowledge of Tax Payments: By submitting your documentation early, you will know your tax liabilities sooner. This gives you more time to plan and manage your finances effectively.
😊 Peace of Mind: Completing your tax return early means you can rest easy knowing that HMRC has been satisfied. This helps you avoid any unpleasant surprises or letters from HMRC.
⚡Faster Tax Refunds: If you are due a tax refund, submitting your information early can expedite the process, allowing you to receive your refund sooner.
Once you have assembled all the necessary documentation, please send it our way by the 31st October 2026 ahead of HMRC’s 31st January 2027 deadline.
