Tax deadline

Self Assessment deadline: 31 January 2027

The online Self Assessment tax return deadline for the 2025–26 tax year is 31 January 2027. Miss it and HMRC will issue an automatic £100 penalty, even if no tax is owed. Interest accrues on any unpaid tax from the same date. File early to avoid the last-minute rush, give yourself time to budget for any tax bill, and contact SHM if you need help gathering records or completing your return.
