When does my tax return need to be filed with HMRC?

If you are filing on paper it needs to be with HMRC by the 31st October after the end of the tax year. If filing online it is the 31st January after the end of the tax year. Remember to give the post office time to deliver it and to obtain proof of posting.

For example,  the deadlines for a 2020/21 tax return are;
