7 day concession to be withdrawn

August 2010

Advance warning has been given that after 31 March 2011 HM Revenue & Customs are withdrawing a concession that allows you an extra 7 days to file certain returns.

The returns affected are:

1. Company tax returns.
2. Annual PAYE returns P35 and P14s.

The concession was granted to allow for postal delays that are no longer required as filing of these returns is now online.

The removal of the concession will not prevent taxpayers applying for a cancellation of late filing penalties if they can demonstrate a reasonable excuse.
