In addition to the abolition of the SA Return as announced by George Osborne (I have not got a clue as to what is to replace it), I was absolutely disgusted to hear that HMRC have given an amnesty to 890,000 late filing of SA Returns. This is an insult to the many practitioners who cope with the January deadline imposed by HMRC and also to the many ? taxpayers who diligently make sure that their Returns are filed before the deadline. I would imagine that the majority of these late filers do their Returns themselves,and having seen what most of them submit, it is usually incorrect. I shall write to Margaret Hodge and I would ask that all the Accountancy Bodies should make representation to HMRC.

Unfortunately....
the reporting of this "amnesty" has been, at best, confusing, in some quarters.

It really is worth reading the full statement from HMRC
SA RETURN AMNESTY
