The reminder, published on 23 October 2026, applies to customers required to complete Self Assessment returns for the period from 6 April 2025 to 5 April 2026<\/strong>. Filing early allows taxpayers to establish how much they owe, arrange payments and receive any refunds sooner. HMRC has also outlined the support available to those completing their returns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

HMRC Urges Taxpayers To File Before the January Deadline<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

According to HMRC’s official announcement<\/a>, customers can complete and submit their returns through GOV.UK rather than waiting until January. The department says early submission gives people more time to budget for their tax bills and reduces the risk of missing the deadline.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Myrtle Lloyd, HMRC’s Chief Customer Officer, said: “The Self Assessment deadline is 100 days away so now is the ideal time to get ahead and file your tax return early<\/em>.” She added that guidance and support were available through GOV.UK, advising customers to search for “file my Self Assessment” to begin the process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

People submitting a return for the first time<\/strong> must register with HMRC to obtain a Unique Taxpayer Reference. Those uncertain whether they need to file can use the government’s online checking service.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The <\/a>GOV.UK guidance<\/a> also states that anyone who has received a letter requesting a return must submit it by the deadline specified. People who believe they no longer need to complete Self Assessment must contact HMRC<\/a> to explain their circumstances.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The deadline for paper returns is 31 October 2026, while online returns and outstanding tax payments are due by 31 January 2027. Customers receiving income through PAYE may also be able to have tax owed collected through their tax code if they file online before 30 December.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
