The new tax year is officially underway, and although the Self Assessment deadline isn’t until 31 January 2026, there are plenty of reasons to consider filing your 2024/2025 tax return early.
💡 Avoid last-minute stress
Leaving it until January often means long waits, missing paperwork and added pressure. Filing early means you’re not rushing, and you can handle everything in your own time—with fewer surprises.
📌 Know what you owe
Filing early gives you a clear picture of your tax liability. This means more time to plan, save, and avoid the panic of an unexpected tax bill just after Christmas.
💰 Get your refund sooner
If you’re due a refund, why wait? HMRC starts processing refunds from as soon as returns are submitted—so the earlier you file, the sooner that money is in your account.
✅ Stay compliant
Submitting your return early reduces the risk of late penalties and mistakes. It also gives you peace of mind knowing you’ve ticked one more thing off your to-do list.
