As you know, the financial year ends on the 5th April and HM Revenue & Customs have probably by now, issued you with a tax return, or notice to complete a return. I would very much like to complete your tax return and submit it to the Revenue as soon as possible.
With this in mind, I should be grateful if you could provide me with details of all your income and gains received in the year to 5 April 2017. To assist you with this, I attach a summary sheet detailing the information required.
It will be a few weeks before some of the items are available, but once you have all of the details please forward them to me as soon as possible.
Please be aware, even if no tax is due, HM Revenue & Customs will apply an automatic £100 penalty to any tax returns not filed by the 31 January 2018 deadline.
Did you know that from 6 April, more than four million married couples and 15,000 civil partners who earn less than the £10,600 income tax personal allowance for 2016/17 will be able to transfer £1,060 of their allowance to their spouse, so long as the recipient doesn't pay higher rate (40%) or additional rate (45%) tax. Please note that only the full amount of this allowance can be transferred across. Please advise us if you feel this is something that may apply to you.
