Willard filed a paper self-assessment tax return on 10 August 2014.
What is the deadline for Willard to make an amendment to his return for the tax year 2013-14.
The amendment has to be made within 12 months from the date the return is received by HMRC. So i think the date should be10 August 2015 but the correct answer is 31 January 2016. Could you please explain the reason for this.
No, amendments must be made within 12 months of the 31 January filing date! Hence 2013/14 filing date is 31 January 2015 plus 12 months = 31 January 2016
