Final Tax Return Reminder for London, Oxfordshire, Buckinghamshire and Berkshire

The 31 January tax return deadline is just around the corner, so if you haven’t sent your return to HMRC yet, you need to act quickly to avoid a £100 penalty.

Nine million people across the country have to file a tax return - including around

• 58,000 with a Croydon postcode
• 68,000 with a Slough postcode
• 81,000 with a Twickenham postcode
• 46,000 with a Watford postcode.
• 107,000 with an Oxford postcode.
• 76,000 with a Milton Keynes postcode (Bucks)
• 139,000 with a Reading postcode (Berks).

If you haven’t yet filed your 2007/08 tax return, you must send it online to HMRC by the 31 January deadline - file on paper and you could receive a £100 penalty, as the new 31 October paper-filing deadline has now passed.

The number of online returns received by HMRC hit 3 million this week - a 39 per cent increase on this time last year - and they now outnumber paper returns for the first time ever. This includes 620 people who filed their tax return online on Christmas Day.

Davenports file all their tax returns online, so there’s still time to avoid a penalty.

Don’t forget, 31 January is also the deadline for paying any tax you owe for the 2007/08 tax year.
