A user was charged a £5000 late filing fee for their 2020-21 IT return, even though they filed before the extended deadline of 30th September 2021. They were advised that no revised return was necessary and the fee would be refunded during processing. It appears the IT portal had an error which has since been corrected, and others filing after this correction were not charged the fee.

No need for filing revised return. It will be refunded while processing the return. Wait for refund. Today we filed the return no such late filing fees charged.
