HMRC can impose penalties upon businesses and individuals for many reasons – from basic errors in self-assessment tax returns to blatant failures to declare income or pay what is owed.
In today’s tax environment, penalties are ever-present and are growing increasingly difficult to avoid.
If you find yourself facing a penalty for submitting a late tax return which you intend to challenge, the onus is on you to show that you had a ‘reasonable excuse’ at the point the failure occurred.
