HMRC is urging recipients of Simple Assessment letters for the 2025-2026 tax year to verify details and settle outstanding tax by 31 January 2027. The letters, known as PA302, are sent to individuals with untaxed income from sources like savings, dividends, pensions, or excess tax-free allowances. Payments can be made via HMRC app, online, bank transfer, or cheque. Over 1.8 million letters will be issued, with working-age recipients receiving them from 30 June 2026 and pensioners from 12 August 2026. The letters, which appear in Personal Tax Accounts or via post, are official and can be verified on GOV.UK. HMRC emphasizes that ignoring letters may result in penalties, and detailed guidance is available on GOV.UK.
