Latest News About Hm Revenue And Customs

Here are the latest HMRC news highlights I can share, based on recent public sources:

• HMRC reported that 11.48 million Self Assessment tax returns were filed by 31 January 2026, beating the deadline, with 8.6 million filed earlier in the period; the department urged everyone yet to file to complete by the deadline to avoid penalties.[4]
• HMRC warned about scams related to Winter Fuel Payments and has issued alerts as part of ongoing consumer protection efforts.[3]
• Reports indicate HMRC’s ongoing compliance initiatives, including enforcement actions against tax avoidance schemes and high-value investigations, reflecting continued emphasis on crackdown measures and taxpayer education.[5][3]

If you’d like, I can compile these into a brief news brief with links to the original sources, or pull out any particular topic (Self Assessment, scams, compliance actions) in more detail. Also, let me know if you want updates for a specific date range or region (UK-wide vs. England/W Wales/Northern Ireland specifics).

Would you like me to fetch more recent coverage or focus on a particular aspect of HMRC news? If you want, I can also summarize what these developments could mean for taxpayers or small businesses.
