We are officially in the “final sprint” of January.

At DASH, we know this time of year can feel like you’re carrying a heavy mental load. Whether you have already crossed the finish line or are still gathering your final details, here is a quick reminder to help you navigate the next two weeks.

The Key Dates
  • 31 January 2026: This is the hard deadline to file your 2024/25 Self-Assessment tax return online.
  • 31 January 2026: This is also the deadline to pay any tax due for that year, plus your first payment on account for the 2025/26 tax year.

If you are handling your own filing this year, don’t forget the HMRC app. It has become a much more reliable way to check your UTR, view your calculation, and make payments quickly without waiting on a phone line.

Our Current Capacity

To ensure our existing clients receive the dedicated support they deserve during this peak period, our books are currently at full capacity for 2024/25 tax return filings. While we aren’t taking on new Self-Assessment projects for this month, we still have a heap of content over on our website that can help guide you through.
