74 Days to Go: Get Ahead with Your Self-Assessment Before 31 January 2026

Nov 18, 2025

There are now just 74 days left until the Self-Assessment tax return deadline – 31 January 2026.

If you’ve already submitted your return or confirmed you don’t need to, great work! But if not, now’s the perfect time to get started. Filing early means less stress and more time to plan.

By filing before the deadline, you’ll:

• Receive any tax refund sooner
• Know exactly what you owe and budget ahead of time
• Have proof of income ready for mortgage, loan, or benefit applications

Reminder for Child Benefit claimants:
If you or your partner earn over £60,000, you may need to pay the High Income Child Benefit Charge (HICBC). You might now be able to pay this through your salary or pension (PAYE), meaning you no longer need to file a return — saving you time and paperwork.
