Register now to send your tax return on time

If you're filing online for the first time, make sure to register with HMRC by 21 January.

HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC) is reminding first-time Self Assessment filers that they need to register for online filing by the end of this week, or they may not be able to send their tax return on time.

Tax returns for 2010/11 must be sent online to HMRC by 31 January but, if you're filing online for the first time, you need to register by Saturday 21 January, to allow enough time for an account Activation Code to be posted to you.
