HMRC Website - Self Assessment

[Sue]

Hi

Is anyone else having problems with the HMRC Website today?

I've tried logging on to file my own Tax Return using HMRC own software. Each time I get to the point 'go back to Tax Return previously started' or 'File Tax Return' the website crashes.

All HMRC will say is they are not aware of any problems!!!

I have - I think it's going up and down like a fiddlers elbow :ohmy:

HMRC are now admitting there is a problem when reviewing Tax Returns. According to their Service Issue page if you press F5 a few times it should work!!!

Better than clearing the Temporary Internet Files and cookies which is what they told me to do!

There can be a problem with cookies - there's a useful article on Accountingweb about this and other issues with the Jan 31st deadline - here's the link:

And interestingly it goes on to say that HMRC will allow filing on Friday 1st Feb without penalty.
