People who miss next week's tax self-assessment deadline will not be fined because of a strike by tax-office staff.

HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) said it will not be issuing penalties to anyone who files their tax return on February 1 or 2. Equally, those who have tax to pay will not face any interest on payments made on February 1 or 2.
