HM Revenue and Customs is warning people in East Lancashire who have to complete a 2013/14 tax return that paper returns received after the October 31 deadline will result in a £100 penalty.

HMRC can issue the £100 late-filing penalty even if you have no tax to pay, or you pay your tax on time.

Around 958,000 people in the North West have to file a Self Assessment return including 179,000 in Lancashire. Help and advice on filing your return is available from the GOV.UK website at www.gov.uk/self-assessment-tax-returns or from the Self Assessment helpline on 0300 200 3310.
