We frequently get error messages about the log file not being found so the tax return doesn't actually get submitted. Also sometimes it can take ages to get a response from the Government Gateway. This is really worrying as it's only July and we've been getting these problems since the end of April! For the "Log file not found" error message HMRC are blaming our software and our software supplier is blaming HMRC. Our IT department have tried everything and checked all internet connections etc our end. Are we alone? If not has anyone else found a solution? (other than manually filing)

Tempting fate
This is bound to be famous last words but I've had no such problems at all using PTP.
No problems with our software
Helen
I have submitted about 50 returns electronically so far and have not had any problems at all. I use PTP software. Hope this helps.
On line filing
Our firm used IRIS and (touchwood, cross fingers etc), so far the on-line filing is working very well.
Only errors I have encountered have been when information is missing e.g. PAYE reference.
