The HMRC has implemented late fees and charges to those businesses not able to complete their accounts in the required time frames. A late submission or missed payment could essentially mean the difference between still having your business and watching it slip through your fingertips.
The HMRC wants to promote good tax practices and encourages all businesses to follow suit through the use of punishment if they don’t. The penalty system should in theory prevent a penalty from needing to be applied as all businesses are well aware of the charges they will incur on missed payments.
As a whole, no one likes getting fines, whether it is a tax penalty or a parking charge. Receiving a penalty can sometimes feel unfair as no one knows your personal circumstances as to why you missed the payment, but so it is fair across the board, a rule is a rule and all must follow. The same goes for you and your business.

At the moment the HMRC are taking part in a consultation period, ending on November 7th 2016, to make tax digital and create a penalty system that works.
