Self-assessment

Question

To ask Mr Chancellor of the Exchequer, pursuant to the Answer of 15 March 2017 to Question 68122, what estimate he has made of the amount of fines due to be payable as a result of those people who missed the 31 January 2017 deadline for their tax returns.

Answer

HM Revenue and Customs does not hold such an estimate. Not all customers who fail to submit their return on time will have to pay a penalty, as they may appeal a penalty on the grounds of having had a reasonable excuse for late submission.
