Praise where praise is due – even for the government!

January 30th, 2009 by

It’s the end of the last working day before the deadline to submit tax returns online using the HMRC website.

Normally at this time of year we’d be hearing lots of stories about how the site has fallen over.

But not a whisper. HMRC seem to have learnt the lessons from previous years and were able to deal with the load. Or it could just be that most self-employed people in the UK now use KashFlow and were so organised they go it in early? Perhaps not.

Accountants even had time to post on UKBF that they were impressed the service didn’t fall over. But considering most of the accountants on UKBF are members of our Partner Programme, I shouldn’t be too surprised. They probably really did get their clients all sorted months ago.

 It seems the problems this year aren’t technology related, they’re cash related.

    I see that HMRC seam to be ok on the tax issues but try to register for the first time for VAT and to be informed that there is a possible 4 months waiting time for a number and when you contact them to be informed that your case has been passed onto someone who has the largest work load and they are not sure when he will get your paperwork done but keeping ring each week for progress this does not instill very much hope in the small new start up business ventures that the government is trying to promote back to work. VAT is one part of my business only because the clients I deal with are VAT registered and they need my number so it tends to delay my push forward due to no Vat number, I do not know if any others have had the same problems?
