This is an audio transcript of the Money Clinic podcast episode: ‘The ultimate tax return guide, revisited’
Claer Barrett
Hello, Money Clinic listeners. It’s that time of year. You know you should be starting on your tax return before the Christmas rush takes over. But you can’t quite muster the enthusiasm. Given the January 31st self-assessment deadline is only a couple of weeks away, we thought it would be a good time to open the Money Clinic back catalogue and dig out our episode on the eight A-Z of the tax return. In the cost of living crisis, there’s good reason to get ahead. Working out how much tax you need to pay long before January’s deadline means there’s more room for manoeuvre if you can’t afford to pay your bill in one big chunk. The latest figures from HMRC show the number of people asking to spread out their payments is increasing. You will need to pay some interest, but this could be a lifeline. Look up time to pay on the gov.uk website to learn more. And for now, sit back and listen to the rest of our top tax tips.
