Hi

Am a paye worker and was planing on filing a return this year as I earn 100k+.

However I have just received a letter from the Revenue, enclosed being an empty copy of a tax return form for apr 2011-apr 2012. I just checked and in that year I earned 100k+ too.

So do I have to fill it out? Will I get huge penalty charges? Bit thrown by receiving it tbh...

Yes you have to complete and submit it once issued.

Normally, you have 3 months to do this from the date the return was issued BUT if you should have completed a return due to your personal circumstances then you may be issued with late filing penalties.

Similarly, any balance of tax due for 11/12 was due by 31 January 2013 and by now would have accrued interest @ 3% and 2 penalties of 5% of any tax outstanding.

I suspect much will depend how accurate your tax code was and what other income you receive.

If you need any help, drop me a PM.
