    Probably for the best because you keep criticisng people who are telling you the right thing rather than what you want to hear.

If you feel an area discussed may be relevant to you, then please seek advice from an Independent Financial Adviser local to you.

    It's funny the number of people who come to these boards, post something and then leave when they don't get responses that they want to hear.

    Always looking to blame someone else. The nanny state has a lot to answer for. Personal responsibility what's that?

    I'm upset at HMRC because there is no logical reason to not looking at late tax returns
    The date is specified in the laws passed by Parliament - so all HMRC are doing is working to them.

    I know you have stated you were due a tax refund and that's why you missed the filing deadline. Unfortunately, if you're sent a tax return you normally have to file it by 31 Jan even if no tax is due - and as had been said the government (not HMRC) extended the deadline this time

    I think anybody who works for HMRC probably spends enough of their time explaining to self entitled “civilians” why they can’t bend the rules of the scheme (they’re only administrating not writing) due to them missing a deadline through either poor business practices, laziness or incompetence. I doubt many people working in HMRC are going to choose to spend their free time doing it as well.i think you’ll be better off chalking this up as a very expensive lesson to learn on the importance of filing the required paperwork before any deadline, extended or otherwise.

    Seiss grant no help
    I would like to claim the siess grant I am a self-employed electrician have been for over 20-years on the CIS scheme I have been unable to claim the s e i s s Grant because my tax return was late I missed the deadline of 23rd of April but I think it's really unfair that if you missed the deadline even though you've paid all your tax and NI why you no longer exist on the system to be able to calculate your average earnings to give you a grant like everybody else has received the only thing they will give you you for existing on the system is a fine for a late return which is is not fair because we're all suffering in the same way some of us more than others especially having to pay the fines with no extra money I rang the the HMRC ,I asked for a logical reason why you can't get the Grant if your tax return is late but the information comes in in and is on the computer to verify they told me that it's because they're worried about fraud after that deadline I asked them why can't they check my years of history to confirm that it is not fraud, I really think that this issue needs to be looked at because this is a massive punishment for having a late tax return it's cost me about £13,000 that I'm not allowed to claim that everybody else is allowed to claim I can't go back in the past and change what happened but I had problems that i could not get the tax return in on time some of it was down to the HMRC computer system I really think this needs looking at because they've made quite a few people who have put their tax returns in late non-existent anymore meaning they won't look at their evidence of earnings on the computer because they don't see them as existing only to pay fines

    Am I missing something here? I thought that the tax year ended in April and then you had until January the following year to submit your tax return.
     I also thought that this year they extended it another three months to give people extra time if they for some reason couldn’t organise themselves in the original 8 month period they had to get it sorted?
     I hate to sound harsh but you should get an accountant if you struggle with it yourself. Mine has already done the tax return due in January and it’s a lot cheaper than the £13k it’s cost you by not organising yourself.
     I sympathise with you but arguing with strangers on a forum won’t make HMRC change their mind. Maybe focus on getting your 19/20 tax returns in so if there’s a wave two and another grant you don’t miss out again.

    Oh dear yet another newbie that came for advice but didn't like the advice they got, so the only option is to have a tantrum...

    I think anyone who works for HMRC will steer well clear of threads like these.
