It’s 31st January which is otherwise known as Panic Day in the UK when last minute tax filers try to get their returns filed before the deadline which is midnight. HMRC Is Shite tells me the site has crashed. HMRC’s official site says:
Thursday 31 January
We are currently aware that some customers may be experiencing problems with this service and are working with our IT service provider to give this our urgent attention. If you are experiencing problems please try again later. We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause. Please note this does not affect users of Third Party Software.
This was reported to me at just after noon. It’s now 1310 GMT. With 11 hours to go before the filing deadline, one can only wonder how much worse it will get.
