October tax return deadline looms

Anyone sending in their 2009/10 Self Assessment return on paper has just a few days left to file their return by the 31 October paper-filing deadline.

If you miss the deadline it could be costly, as paper returns filed after this date could mean a £100 penalty.

An alternative to paper-filing is to file your return online, which benefits from a January deadline.
