Self Assessment: Key HMRC Deadline to Register for UK Tax Returns Just Days Away - What to Do

First-time filers and those with untaxed income must register by Sunday to avoid penalties, HMRC said, with fines applying even if returns are filed by January 31.

  • This Sunday, October 5, HMRC sets the registration deadline for Self Assessment, and first-time filers who haven't registered yet are urged to act now to avoid penalties.
  • Self-Employed people who worked between 6 April 2024 and 5 April 2025 should register now, as this Sunday marks the deadline for Self-Assessment registrations, Jamie Stewart, chief executive of binq, warned.
  • Registering now does not require immediate filing, as paper submissions are due October 31 and online submissions are due January 31.
  • Missing the cut-off risks penalties, with late registration potentially penalised by HMRC; deliberate evasion can lead to fines from 30% to 100% plus interest and filing by January 31.
  • To avoid penalties, register now; the process is quick and simple and helps avoid stress, while people selling items online or letting out part of their property should check the HMRC website or government registration form.
