Completing your tax return online – free guidance

Submitting your tax return online instead of on paper has several advantages, including:

• Your bill is calculated for you automatically
• Any refunds due can be paid to you more quickly
• You only have to see the parts of the form that are relevant to you
• You have longer to submit your return (paper forms are due 31 October, online are due 31 January)
• You can go back in and amend/update your details after submission
• You will know that HMRC has received your return straight away as you will be given a submission receipt reference number
