Is it too early to file my 2019 tax return?

I have everything ready to file my 2019 tax return but is it too soon?

It is definitely not too early to file your 2019 tax return. The deadline for filing your 2019 Form 11 is not until 12 November 2020. However, you can pay your tax return for the previous year from the 1st January of the new year.

In fact, we advise that you do not leave your return until November and you file as early as possible. There are many reasons to file early including having more time with your accountant to explore tax saving measures, having time to plan for your bill or if you are due a refund this will be processed straight away.

And remember even if you file early you do not have to pay early!
