HMRC has confirmed that taxpayers who have filed their tax returns on time will not receive any late filing penalties. Therefore, if you or any of your clients have received one of these letters and you are certain that the relevant return was filed on time, you do not need to take any action.
HMRC has temporarily stopped sending these reminder letters while it investigates the issue further.
