Dear customer,
Almost 300,000 customers submitted their tax return in the first week of the tax year
You can join them by submitting your Self Assessment tax return for 2023 to 2024 now and have peace of mind for the rest of the year.
If you have already submitted your tax return, or if you do not need to complete one and have already told us, thank you, please ignore this email. You can also find information below on stopping Self Assessment and unsubscribing to these emails. You have until the 31 January 2025 to file your return and pay any tax you may owe, but there are many benefits to submitting your tax return early – you can: | | • | find out sooner if you’re due a refund and get it quicker too | | • | pay in instalments to help with your budgeting
| | • | get help if you can’t pay your Self Assessment tax
| | • | avoid the pressure and stress of doing it at the last-minute
| | • | use your tax return as proof of income for a mortgage, remortgage, loan and any benefit claims |
|
Early filing does not mean early payment
Choosing to submit your tax return early does not mean you have to pay straight away. You will find how much tax you owe (if any) which does not have to be paid until 31 January 2025.
We’re here to help
There’s lots of hints and tips on GOV.UK on how to get your tax return done early.

| | Always be on your guard against tax scams
If someone contacts you saying they’re from HMRC, never let yourself be rushed, especially if they want you to urgently transfer money or give personal information.
HMRC will also never ring up threatening arrest
Tax scams come in many forms. Some offer a rebate while others threaten arrest for tax evasion. Make sure to take your time and if you’re unsure, check HMRC scams advice on GOV.UK.
Protect your sign in details
Your HMRC account contains your personal information such as your bank account details. So don’t share your HMRC sign in details with anyone, including your tax agent.
Remember to tell us if your details change
It’s important to let us know of any changes to your details or circumstances, such as a new address or name, or if you’ve stopped being self-employed or your business has closed down.
