HMRC online services are down - again

Didn't find your answer?

HMRC online services got off to a bad start: taxpayers could log into their PTA on the first day of the tax year on Thursday, but the website crashed when they tried to access their tax return. It was fixed late morning but was crashing again by Thursday evening. Friday all was ok. Today all online services are down. Online servies have only been working one "working" day in 3 this tax year. HMRC doesn't usually have these problems at the start of the tax year. Anyone know why this year is "special"?

HMRC said they would thoroughly test MTD for 12 months before going live. I wonder how this is impacting the MTD trial. If HMRC's IT is not robust enough for existing online services, it will never cope with MTD.
