If you have received your login details and password already, then you can file your return online and let HMRC work out if there is any tax to pay.

If you havent got them, then you have till 31st January to file the return online AND PAY any tax that is due.

Here is a link to their website :

Personally I would recommend filing online because on the return has been succesfully submitted you will receive an email with a receipt number on it, and also by filing online you dont have to worry about it getting lost in the post.

Just one word of advice though, if you havent got your access codes do not leave it to the last minute to request them, as it can take upto 14 days for them to be issued and HMRC will NOT accept this as a reason for late submission of the return, because you know the date when it has to be filed by.

Good luck !.
