HMRC fines late filing taxpayers £85 million
20th February 2012
Penalties for £100 are winging their way to 850,000 taxpayers who failed to file their tax returns on time. Most of the returns will have no excuse for being late and are contributing £85 million to the government’s coffers unnecessarily. The number is 550,000 down on last year, according to HM Revenue & Customs.
