Bad enough for 2016/17 but when we add in the complication of a different Scottish basic rate band for some income sources in 2017/18 I fear that the system will not cope at all.
HMRC Website I get annoyed at the bad programming of the website. For example when you are searching for a client when logged in if you press the return key instead of clicking 'go' after entering the client's name or UTR you have to start all over again. I minor niggle I know but just one of many.
Tim Re FBI probs Not sure why you have problems with FBI if more than one pension. I have a client with 6 and filed OK. Maybe a problem with your software.
A tip if you have a 64-8 but cannot file- use the agents helpline to check that the revenue have flagged the file properly. I have had a few where the PAYE has been flagged but not the self assessment. It then seems to take about a week for the client to appear on the gateway after having this put right but you can fast track it by calling the FBI helpline.

Brilliant Helen! I'm sure all the children had a great time. Inspired taking in Jaffa cakes & Tunnocks.

It would be interesting to know what timescale these countries used from conception to implementation and if it was a gradual/staged process.
