Individuals who are required to submit a SATR include, the self-employed and some landlords, investors, company directors, high earners and people who have worked overseas.
Those taxpayers who fail to file their return online by midnight on Wednesday 31 January will be subject to an automatic penalty of £100. This applies even if there is no tax to pay, or the tax is paid on time.
Tax returns which are not filed after a further three months will be subject to daily penalties, and additional penalties will apply to returns which remain unfiled after six and 12 months, adding up to a potential penalty of £1,600 or more.
Penalties and interest charges also apply for the late payment of tax, and these will continue to be applied until HM Revenue & Customs receives payment.
