Submitted by admin on Wed, 22/01/2020 - 00:00

HMRC has confirmed that around 11.7 million people in the UK need to submit a self-assessment return this year. However, by the middle of January they had only received 6.9 million of them. This leaves close to 5 million taxpayers who still need to do this.

The Prime Minister has pointed out that it would cost a lot of money to announce Brexit with the iconic chimes of Big Ben. He mentioned a figure of £500,000. With the proposed plan for it to strike 11 times, that would mean a cost of £45,454 for each and every chime.

The Details of the Research

The start of 2020 has seen hopes rise that the UK’s economy is improving. This is largely based on the greater clarity over Brexit achieved following the election win for Boris Johnson. Recent studies also reveal modest improvements at the end of 2019.
