The United Kingdom is a member of the European Union, and the EU requires all member nations to apply a sales tax known as VAT, or Value Added Tax. In the UK, VAT is regulated, administered and collected by Her Majesty's Revenue and Customs service (HMRC). VAT-registered businesses have to provide returns to HMRC at specified time intervals, and HMRC has rules for preparing and filing VAT returns.
Sometimes people are unable to file tax returns on time. The IRS provides for an extension. The IRS only gives extensions because the taxpayer cannot file a return on time and does not allow extensions due to inability to pay taxes. A taxpayer must file Form 4868 by the time his tax filing is normally due, usually April 15, and he must pay the estimated taxes due. If paying only partially, a penalty of 0.5 percent applies monthly to any part not paid. The late payment penalty may not be greater than 25 percent of unpaid taxes.
When the April 15th deadline is approaching fast, many taxpayers forego accuracy to complete their income tax return quickly. This leads to returns being rejected for filing, incomplete refunds, and potentially even auditing. If you find you have little time left to complete your tax return, you can instead opt to file a tax extension. This affords you six more months of time to complete your return and reduces the chance of inaccuracies due to rushing. Most taxpayers who need extra time can file a tax extension. It is important to note, however, that a tax extension will not extend…
Corporations, like individuals, have yearly tax due dates. They also sometimes run short of funds to pay those taxes on time. However, the Internal Revenue Service allows a corporation to file a corporate extension without all taxes paid at the time of application. The IRS has set up a special procedure for an automatic extension if the corporation files the proper forms by a set deadline. Corporations can receive an extension of up to six months using this procedure.
