I am currently checking my clients' 31 July payments due online and of the first 6 clients that I have checked I find 3 do not appear to have been sent Statements of Account.
Does anyone know if there is a problem with SA statements of account not beeing sent?

SA Statements Late
They seem to be sending the statements out now. I received mine on Saturday. Typical of HMRC.
statements
yes but if you look at these the staements are all dated before the end of June...
You think they are competent?
You expect HMRC to put a statement in the post the same day like we do?
Wait a while?
I've had a few clients also saying that they haven't receieved theirs. Given that there is till two and a half weeks until the end of the month then maybe worth a wait? What I have advised my clients is to wait until next monday and if they haven't receieved one, to give me a call and I'll send them an alternative payslip so they can pay.
Pay online
"I'll send them an alternative payslip so they can pay."
My clients usually pay online.
What's wrong with just having a UTR - why make the reference so complicated? Why have to accounts offices? It's unnecessary.
Self assessment statements sent late
Has anyone considered that it is not the Revenue who are at fault, but the Post Office?
My husband had a hospital letter on Saturday, 17th July dated 24th June. It was to remind him of an appointment on 7th July! I can't think that the NHS held this letter back as well, so perhaps the postal services are also to blame for the HMRC Self assessment statements being received late with a June date on them.
Yes but it's not
Sometimes other letters are received late but HMRC machine printed letters are ALWAYS received late.
So, the answer is, yes, I have considered that it could be the Post Office but I think the evidence indicates it is HMRC. In fact HMRC staff blame the outsourcing system they have in place for bulk post.
