UK (go4ukloans) January 8: HM Revenue
& Customs reveals that around 900,000 people failed to turn up for last
year's January self-assessment deadline, thus incurring an automatic £100
fine.
According to Sainsbury's Bank, there could be a healthy amount of
personal loans taken this year. In fact, the bank believes that nearly
£50 million will be availed in personal loans to pay off tax bills. The
average loan amount for this purpose is expected to be just under £11,000.
Steven Baillie, loans manager of Sainsbury's Bank, states: "Some people
can find themselves facing a tax bill that is considerably higher than
they had been expecting and to help cover this, will take out a
personal
loan. With the 31st January deadline just around the corner, those
doing this need to ensure that they have shopped around for a competitive
rate, can get an instant decision and access to the funds as quickly as
possible, and whatever they do, don't incur the £100 late penalty."
