Tax penalties: all taxes
A penalty will apply where there is a loss of tax attributable to a careless error or mistake (including an overclaim) made in preparing a tax return or document.
Late filing penalties: Self Assessment
Miss the 31 January deadline and the penalty is £100 unless your outstanding tax for the year (this does not include the payment on account) is paid on time, then it is reduced to nil.
