Are you on top of your taxes?

Almost 1.5 million people are risking fines by failing to complete their self-assessment tax return.

Due to the pandemic, fines for late filing have been delayed by a month beyond the normal HMRC deadline of January 31.

However, interest is already building up on any unpaid tax, and anyone who failed to complete their return by the end of February faces an additional £100 fine.

Household energy bills could top £3,000 a year in England, Wales and Scotland from October.

A report by the bank Investec warned the conflict in Ukraine, along with surging global demand, had made gas and electricity prices soar.

It said it expects the energy price cap – which limits what suppliers can charge – to hit £3,238 a year for the average home when it’s next adjusted in October. The cap is already due to rise by £693 to £1,971 in April.
