Government pushes for online tax returns

Deadline for returns three months away

There's further encouragement from government for people to submit their personal tax returns online.

It says more than 18,000 were done in this way last year, with 7,000 received for 2016/17 already.

The deadline for submitting personal tax returns is just under three months away, on 6 October.

There's a reminder not getting them in by that date will see you hit with a £100 penalty, with a further £200 charged if it's not done by 6 April next year.
