Over 40,000 file self assessment over the Christmas break

January 02 2025

More than 40,000 taxpayers completed their self assessment returns over the Christmas break, according to figures from HMRC.

On Christmas Day 4,400 people filed their tax return online while almost 12,000 submitted their tax return on Boxing Day.

Christmas Eve was the busiest day for returns over the festive period with 23,731 filing their returns.

Then numbers were released by the tax authority as it continues to encourage taxpayers to prepare and file their tax return ahead of the deadline on 31 January 2025.

Myrtle Lloyd, HMRC's Director General for Customer Services, said: 'People who need to file a self assessment return and already have can enjoy the rest of the festive period knowing they've got it wrapped up for another year, and can enjoy singing Auld Lang Syne knowing their tax affairs are in order.

'For those who haven't started yet, our online service is available 365 days a year so there's still a chance to get it done before 2024 is out! Go to GOV.UK and search 'self assessment' to access the online help and start today.'
