"The move follows last year’s tax chaos when millions of people were given incorrect Pay As You Earn (PAYE) codes. Accountants described the decision to close HMRC’s websites between April 2 and April 6 as “very strange” but the taxmen insist it is necessary for routine computer maintenance."

Eh? My VAT is due then as well. You get an extra 7 days for doing it online and as you have to do it online now anyway I always do mine on the 5/6/7th.

What a bunch of twats!
