Tax help available as deadline looms

Not long until returns due

Treasury says extra assistance is available for those who still haven't submitted their online income tax returns.

An out of hours telephone help service will be available between 2-8pm today.

The helpline will then be open between 5.30-8pm, Monday to Wednesday (5th), then 5.30-10pm on Thursday.

Around 1 in 3 taxpayers now submit their returns online, with more enrolling each year.

Failure to submit a return by 6 October will automatically lead to a £100 fine - with that figure doubling if still not submitted by 6 April next year.

Paper returns can be posted through the letterboxes on the front entrance to Government Offices, or on the second floor.

The help line is available on 685 400.
