With less than a week to go until the 31 January Self-Assessment deadline, HMRC has provided a bit of light relief by posting some of the weird and wonderful excuses from people who have missed the deadline in the past.

 

One late filing Brit tried to blame his mother in law, another tried to blame a junior member of staff and one even blamed the postbox.

 

The tax authority also posted a list of failed expense claims that people have tried to get away with, including five years’ worth of woolly underwear.

Some potentially good news for contractors who operate through their own limited company is that HMRC have relaxed their deadline for Limited Companies (with less than 50 employees) that are adjudged to be late filing their monthly PAYE returns and hence liable for a penalty.
