As the title says. Tell me I'm not the only one. And can anyone remember how you do it online? Am i right in thinking you need to register several days before the deadline...

Like you, I was dreading doing it, but the online site works really well and once you start it's really easy. I did mine last week. You have to register for your password and they post it to you; mine took two days but there might be a bit of a rush on now!

haven't done mine, made a deal with dh - he did my tax return and i will paint the new playroom for him.

alfiesbabe lol - but you did read that I haven't done mine either
virgo Re interest - if you reduced your payments on account to zero - but should have paid something based on last years tax, and then you actually have tax due - then you shouldn't have reduced to zero and so they charge interest on what should have been paid. That probably doesn't make sense.

Quattrocento · 20/01/2008 20:03

I've done mine

Wisteria · 20/01/2008 20:06

I've done mine but have loads to do for others now - why do people leave it until the last minute and then expect me to do a years worth of blardy accounting for them ??

Quattrocento · 20/01/2008 20:11

In fact, I did mine before the end of the school holidays - the summer holidays ...

Vacua · 20/01/2008 20:12

is it still £100 for being late? or worse?

Wisteria · 20/01/2008 20:13

same plus interest is calculated on your unpaid tax at a daily rate from the 1 Feb

are there no concessions for the profoundly mentally/domestically/numerically disordered at all?

No.............

ChirpyGirl · 20/01/2008 20:22

I did mine last week, but haven't worked as self employed this year so it only has my wages from the KIT days I do....which I have already been taxed on.

They do my calcs and I owe them 40p as my employer worked my tax out wrong.

Who do I work for..........

HM Revenue & Customs.

alfiesbabe · 20/01/2008 20:25

£100 and a spanking for every day late isnt it?

I usually do mine as soon as I can after the end of March

I like it that the online system works out all the sums for me

I am crap at sums

I would lay awake worrying if I had to work it all out myself

Quattrocento · 20/01/2008 21:30

Eddas · 20/01/2008 21:33
