Self Assessment online

[Jonny69]

Having sweated out the last 24 hours waiting for a password reset for my online tax return it seems the Inland Revenue are having a few problems. Looks like I won't get my tax return in time then, they'd better not send me a £100 fine :/

Tax doesn't have to be taxing. Hmmm.

Anyone else had problems filing their return online?

Is it worth a phonecall to cover your arse?

Why leave it to the last day?

 

[Mr Jack]

You have until midnight tommorow. And the server is working now.

Why leave it to the last day?

I didn't, I tried yesterday but couldn't get in.

I would also contact them.

I don't believe they have confirmed an extension at this point and complaints are likely to fall on deaf ears - I can see them saying 'you've had a year to do it, don't whinge to us now'

They've extended it by a day

If their automated password reset would send me out my damn password it wouldn't be a problem. This is why I tried last night rather than leave it until today when I know from past experience that their site is slow :/

Anyway, I'm sitting here on hold due to technical difficulties.

Complaints will certainly fall on deaf ears now then. They've extended the deadline so people have no real reason not to submit their returns.

I'd now do everything over the phone and get everyone's name.
