According to a press release on gov.uk:
Out of the millions of people who file a tax return every year, is the 54k who do it on NYE or NYD that get the honourable mention!
I bet those 342 were doing to to avoid having to watch Jules Holland again.
With less than a month to the 31 January deadline, 54,053 customers chose to ring in the New Year by filing their tax return for the 2024 to 2025 tax year on New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day. The figures, show:
- 342 customers beat the bells by filing their tax return in the last hour of 2025
- 19,789 missed their traditional New Year’s Day walk or day in front of the TV to file their tax return instead
- 3,927 people filed between 11am and 11:59am on 31 December – the most popular time to file over the 2 days
I bet those 342 were doing to to avoid having to watch Jules Holland again.
