Trying to submit cgt computations as a pdf attachment to the tax return however the gateway keeps on coming back with an error. The attachment isn't that big 100k however would it be okay to submit the tax return without the attachments and send them by post (although the comps will arrive at HMRC after the deadline).
Thanks :)

Surely it's easier just to wait an hour or two rather than have to change the return and get the client to re-authorise it.
Personally, I haven't seen any problems with submitting attachments today, and 100K is really quite small.
Reduce the size
Try PDF handling software to reduce the size of the PDF document, then re-attach it. I use Foxit Phantom but any Adobe Acrobat compatible would do it.
pdfs
Potentially it might also be a problem with the pdf encoding. Can you create the pdf in another way and then attach it?
Also it's definitely a pdf you're trying to attach and not some other file format renamed as a pdf?
