HMRC has just made a costly mistake even more expensive🚨

Late filing penalties for Corporation Tax have now doubled📈

Which means missing your deadline doesn’t just cause stress - it hits your business twice as hard💸

1 day late? Now £200. 
3 months late? Now £400. 
6 months late? HMRC will estimate your Corporation Tax bill and add a penalty of 10% the unpaid tax.
Still 12 months late? Another 10% of any unpaid tax 

If your tax return is late 3 times in a row, the £200 penalties are increased to £1,000 each‼️

And here’s what most people don’t realise, you can still be fined even if you owe ZERO tax🤯

The problem? 
Most businesses don’t miss deadlines on purpose…

It’s usually down to:
📂 Poor organisation
⏳ Leaving things too late
🤝🏼 Or not having the right support

But with penalties now higher than ever, avoiding late filing is more important than ever⚠️
