Tax Deadline: 2 March 2023

Self-assessment tax owing

Make sure you don’t miss the deadline for…

  • pay any self-assessment tax owing for 2021/22
  • avoid an automatic late payment penalty

The penalty is equal to 5% of any 2021/22 self-assessment income tax and capital gains tax that was due on 31 January 2023 which remains unpaid after midnight on 2 March 2022. No penalty applies to any part of your 2022/23 self-assessment payment on account due on 31 January that is owing after 2 March. HMRC will first allocate any payment you made against the tax owing for 2021/22 and then the balance against the 2022/23 payment on account.

Where payment is not possible by the deadline, HMRC will waive the penalty if a time-to-pay arrangement is agreed before the deadline passes.
