    To the OP, whilst the HMRC online system doesn't support this online filing there are lots of accountants systems that do allow these filings - find yourself a decent accountant (may well be different to your company's accountant) who can submit this online for you

    Thanks for the info.

    Yes you can. I print mine out from TaxCalc software. I have to print and post it because the electronic submission fails every time for no apparent reason.

    It's the only part of this that is interesting. I cannot understand why anyone would be obliged to do a paper return.

    Only possible if HMRC pick up the phone.

    I have a straight-forward question that needs an answer but I get a recorded message along the lines of 'All of our agents are busy, please try again later' before they drop the line...

    I would have thought that by the time I've printed it out I'd sign it with a pen anyway as I'd hate them to reject it.


    It seems very, very odd though. What aren't you telling us?


    And why would it be a problem or are you getting your accountant to print it?

    If you use the official SA100 form that you can complete within Adobe Acrobat then, yes, you can print it off and post it when you're done.

    You do know that paper forms were supposed to have been submitted by 31 October 2020 so you risk a fine / penalty for what will technically be a late submission. Only electronic form submission has until 31 January 2021.

    thanks for any advice.
