HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) advises that failure to meet the October 31st deadline will result in a £100 penalty, regardless of whether the tax due is paid on time.
There are further penalties after three, six and 12 months under the new regime.
By sending a tax return online, the deadline is extended by three months, although workers cannot turn to this option after they have failed to send in a paper return.
Filing online also has other advantages, HMRC revealed, such as an instant online acknowledgement, automatic tax calculations and faster processing.
It was recently announced that HMRC was to extend its Business Records Checks programme, as a survey found that 12 per cent of companies have seriously inadequate paperwork.
A further 44 per cent were found to have issues with their record keeping.
