Working Together Bulletin Issue 29

Working Together Bulletin Issue 29 is available to download here in Adobe (pdf) format. Members may like to note in particular the paragraph regarding the tax return deadline which states:

"HMRC letterboxes

"Returns delivered through a letterbox before 00:00 on Saturday the 2 February will not incur a penalty. As our offices will not be open on Saturday 2 February, in line with the Special Commissioner’s decision in Steeden v Carver, we will assume that any Return received in an HMRC office letterbox by 07:30 on Monday (4 February) was placed there before 00:00 on the 2 February and so no penalty will be issued for those Returns."
