Do you agree that this is all OK? ...
As far as I can tell forms CWF1 and SA401 are still "current", although Class 2 NIC is now going through the SA returns. However I intend from now on (except for late notifications) only to use SA1 forms (where SA401 or CWF1 were previously required), mainly because I can file them online (and get an immediate rejection notice if, say, they already have a UTR that I was unaware of).
Ancillary benefit is that I may avoid the occasional £100 late partnership return filing penalty if the worst comes to the worst (obv only where there is an existing registered partnership in respect of new partner added).
With kind regards

I'm completing a strutured email online

which has been accepted by HMRC in recent weeks.
Thanks for that
Yes, thanks for that. Looks like there is no SA401 equivalent.

I just made up a date. It does not seem to be relevant to anything.
Date - chose something memorable, record it
In my case if a have to invent a date I will choose something close to the estimated true date and be a memorable one (and importantly recorded it for future reference) - just in case HMRC somehow retain this input information as part of a security proceedure that might at a later date ask for this same date.
It would be interesting to see what happens if the date becomes important from a tax liability viewpoint at some future date (eg. property let at some time - CGT / PPR matters) and from this perspective I would strive to use as accurate a date as possible just in case the date does get stored within HMRC systems and then be used to trip up a taxpayer at some future time when they, realising its importance, go to the trouble of ascertaining the date with precision.
As it happens there are online resources that can assist - eg. Zoopla which records on public record my house purchase date from wayback in terms of month and year (but not day, but then I can recall that anyway).
can't be arsed
The likelihood of HMRC making use of it can be consigned to the back of a postage stamp.
I print the submission to pdf so it is not lost.
