Re: A right now thread
On a slightly less painful note, I received a tax bill for 40p. For reasons I can't fathom, I decided to log on to the Govt. Gateway to check. Somewhat to my surprise, it informed that I owed them £1,208.48.
Diving into the details they'd charged me £300 as a late submission fine and then £900 in daily penalties, plus a bit of interest. Naturally I called them, and naturally they took nigh-on an hour to answer, but in fairness, the lady looked into why. Long story short, I did a paper Self Assessment for 2019-20, then found it some considerable months later, in a pile of paper on my desk at home. My bad. Sent it, set up myself up on the gateway, paid the £100 late fine, thought that was that. They returned the paper SA form in November of this year, citing a small error, which I correct and returned.
In fairness, the lady confirmed this was an unacceptable delay and simply removed the £1,200+int there and then. Thank feck for that.
I have now submitted my 20-21 SA form online and paid the 40p that was outstanding as I don't want them buggers on my back again.
So, remember to submit your Self Assessment form, if required, by 31 Jan, people. Take my tale of tardiness as fair warning.

Re: A right now thread
I did my online SA a while back but then got hit with a 5 figure bill earlier this month.
"What the bloody ell" thinks I.
So I ring the HMRC...turns out I'd managed to declare all my income but completely failed to declare any of the tax I'd paid
I have no idea how I even made such an obvious oversight.
Ended up with a switch from a ~£20k bill to a £190 rebate. If you do it all online said rebate is paid immediately by BACS too

Was a strange tumble. If it's hard enough to snap the bone in my hand, probably enough to bust the rib when I rolled.

I was about to put another front tyre on the NCX but I can't find my tyre levers anywhere. So I'm now sulking and having a cup of tea.

Because the form is crappy and designed to catch you out, though at the moment I'm having problems even getting to the online form.Mr. Dazzle wrote: Thu Dec 30, 2021 12:48 pm I did my online SA a while back but then got hit with a 5 figure bill earlier this month.

Re: A right now thread
I've managed it every other year without this issue and I don't think the form's changed. I think I know where the blame lies and it ain't HMRC!
