“Self-assessment” and “tax return” are words that will cause even the most diligent of us to feel as though we’ve suddenly developed narcolepsy.

Click through the gallery to see the 10 worst excuses HM Revenue & Customs received from those missing the 2013-14 deadline.
- My niece had moved in – she made the house so untidy I could not find my log-in details to complete my return online.
- My husband ran over my laptop.
- I had an argument with my wife and went to Italy for five years.
- I had a cold which took a long time to go.
