Today HMRC has announced that they will not charge:
✅ Late filing penalties for those who file online by 28 February 2022.
✅ Late payment penalties for those who pay the tax due in full or set up a payment plan by 1 April 2022.
However, HMRC is encouraging customers to file by 31st January and pay on time if they can.

The payment deadline for Self Assessment is 31 January and interest will be charged from 1 February on any amounts outstanding.
