There has considerable press commentary during the last few weeks about a “copy-cat” website taxreturngateway.
If you Google tax return gateway you will still be directed to https://secure.taxreturngateway.com, it’s the top listing.
The site purports to act as a channel that allows you to file your return online. When you have finished the process you will be advised that you need to pay a nominated amount, between £150 and £1000, and seems to infer that this is due to an underpayment of tax.
DO NOT under any circumstances use this website. Any monies paid are actually a fee for using the site and will not reduce any tax owing.
If you still need to file your 2013 tax return online go to HMRC’s official website www.hmrc.gov.uk.
Follow the relevant link in the “Do it online” panel top left on the home page. There is no separate fee for using HMRC’s online filing service...
Don’t forget that this is the last week you can file your 2013 return without penalty. The filing deadline is Friday 31 January 2014.
