Income tax deadline approaches for employers

Employers and contractors are being reminded the deadline for tax returns is fast approaching.

The Income Tax Division says the due date is Monday, May 5 - but because that's a bank holiday the deadline will now be Tuesday, May 6.

There's a warning that late returns could mean a £250 penalty - plus a charge of £50 per day while the paperwork is outstanding.

You can register to file returns online on the government website.
