Final Call for Tax Return Information

If you have a tax return to submit for 2010/11 and you haven't yet provided us with the information to prepare this for you, please get in touch with us now!

This is the first year for which late-filing penalties will be payable even if there is no tax outstanding, which means that paying your tax this month and filing your return next month will no longer prevent a penalty being raised.

We will do our best to meet deadlines in cases where information is provided close to the filing deadline. The earlier we receive it, the greater the chance we can achieve this.
