'People who need to file a self assessment return and already have can enjoy the rest of the festive period knowing they've got it wrapped up for another year … for those who haven't started yet, our online service is available 365 days a year so there's still a chance to get it done. Go to GOV.UK and search 'self assessment' to access the online help and start today.'
