Record number file tax returns online
A record number of taxpayers completed their Self Assessment returns online this year, according to figures from HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC).
In total, 6,429,899 people used the online filing system to complete their returns by the deadline of January 31st, three-quarters of all the returns HMRC received.
The figures represent an increase of nearly 12 per cent on last year's number, when around 5.8 million people chose to file online.
"It's easier, quicker and HMRC processes your return faster, so any money you're owed is repaid more quickly," commented Stephen Timms, financial secretary to the Treasury.
"If you haven't yet made the switch from paper to online, do so, and join the millions who are benefiting already."
Recently, HMRC launched the Tax Health Plan, an initiative designed to encourage people in the medical profession to come forward and disclose unstated income with the promise of favourable penalty rates.
