Late filing penalty

Late filing penalty

Didn't find your answer?

Anyone else had this.

I have just received a SA Late Tax Return Notice of penalty assessment dated 17 January 2012 stating that my client's 2011 Tax Return has not been filed on time. Return was however filed online on 9 January 2012. Client's online recored confirms that the return was received on that date, shows the 2011 liability as per the return but also shows the penalty.

Needless to say an appeal has been lodged and we will be asking HMRC to pay the costs.

Same thing here...

That's strange - I had one as well for one of my clients. The 2010 was filed on time and since the 2011 deadline hasn't arrived I don't see how the 2011 return can be late.

Perhaps there has been an accident with a revenue officer and a time machine?
