How many £250 penalties were issued by the Comptroller of Taxes for failure to submit an Income Tax return before the deadline date in 2012, 2013, 2014 and 2015?

B.

Of the above, how many Income Tax returns were received within 5 working days of the deadline?

Subsequent clarification established that;

A.

The data is being sought for individuals without tax agents (returns due by the last Friday in May)
