Can't log in to HMRC online any more

This morning, as if by magic, it all is working fine and I submitted my VAT return.

I await a snotty letter for it being late. I will reply.

VAT return is due by the 7th, isn't it?

Unless yours was due on the 7th Jan, in which case you don't really have a leg to stand on...

Happen to me before more than once.

Tried to submit on the weekend didn't work. Submitted in the week about 5pm worked.

They obviously take systems down but forget the impact on submissions.

I logged in earlier and paid the £6k they say I owe, the bastards....

Can't log in at the moment. I've been able to for years with the same credentials, but today according to the site they are wrong.

Somebody stolen your account and paid taxes for you!!!

[DimPrawn]

You don't

If only

[SueEllen]

You don't

I have had varying error messages from using the usual HMRC logon page. One of them was asking what my income was according to my P60 for FY14-15 and it then refused to accept what was on the form. I managed to get through but it warned me that although I can do my tax return I won't be able to do other things on the site

I think all government departments are moving to gov.uk but the process is long and reliably broken

I did the "I forgot me login" and answered all the data protection questions accurately. It said it couldn't ID me, it's like I no longer exist?

Must have been a glitch or scheduled downtime, back to normal now.

And these "people" are to be given power to access bank accounts....

[DimPrawn]

Don't know. I tried to login this morning. I get redirected to what I guess is a new login screen. Then it says "service not available".

Can only assume all the UK staff are on hols or pissed after the pub, and it's just the Bobs in charge today.

Tax doesn't have to be taxing. Useless incompetents.

I log in as normal but then get taken to a page asking me "Sign in with your Government Gateway account".

This is the first I've heard of any such changes - what's the deal?
