The Money Saving Expert founder cautions against leaving it until the last moment - and over child benefit allowances
The deadline for self-assessment tax returns is approaching, with 3.8 million people yet to file, risking penalties. Martin Lewis urges immediate filing to avoid complications. Those required to file include the self-employed, new business partners, and those with untaxed income or high Child Benefit charges. Key mistakes to avoid are failing to register for a UTR, forgetting Child Benefit charges, not complying with online seller tax rules, over-claiming expenses, and not signing the return.
