Works out the late filing penalties on one monthly CIS return under Finance Act 2009 Schedule 55: £100 the day after the 19th, £200 at 2 months, then the greater of £300 and 5% of the deductions at 6 and at 12 months (5% alone for a first return). Takes the tax year and month, the filing date or none, today's date, the deductions and whether a return had been filed before. Returns each penalty with its date and whether it is charged, avoided or still to come. Does not cover deliberate withholding, interest on late payment, or appeals.
