A RECORD 9.61 million people filed their tax returns on time this year following a last-minute dash as the deadline approached.
Some 7.93 million, or 83%, of the on-time self-assessment returns were sent in online, which is also a new high.
The busiest day for doing so was Thursday, ahead of a midnight deadline.
With 10.34 million people in self-assessment, this means that 93% of taxpayers met the return deadlines of October 31 for paper returns and the end of the day on Thursday for filing online.
