HMRC website login not working

The HMRC website for online tax login is one of the most important websites for those who are self employed who need to constantly check their financial situation on a daily basis.

At times though, the HMRC website can suffer problems meaning that you won’t be able to login in to check your account.

When that happens, you can use this page to tell us when the HMRC website is not working in your area or check the HMRC website status with other Self Assessment users.

HMRC are useless. I spent 30 minutes waiting to speak to someone who had NO CLUE about what I was asking.
The online does not work. Sorry we are experiencing technical problems. Please try again in few moments!
Are they serious? What will happen when MTD starts. Is this a service or a means to employ useless people?
A disgrace to the county and HM, not least the goverment. Tried 20 times this morning with no joy. I am an agent! I need to look after my clients!

HMRC login is not working. I thought I got it wrong and have used my ID to get a new password. Then when I used the new password to login, it said invalid ID and password. After several new passwords, I am now convinced the login is not working.

I am trying to log into HMRC Self Assesment. I input the user and password, it acceptss it and take me to tthe p[age saying “we have sent a code to your phone.
I get the code and enter it in the box, it then takes me to another page asking me to set up an alternative way of getting the code. I select Voice on my landline. They call me within 5 seconds with the code. I enter this into the code box , press enter and it takes me back to the sign in page, I enter my login details and the whole circular routine begins again, there is no way out of this
HMRC Screws up again, fix the Bloody thing and stop making changes all the time. GET IT RIGHT and LEAVE IT ALONE!!!!

My Payroll software just informed me that the HMRC recently changed the RTI web address, both operated for a while but the old one has just expired.
So unless your RTI software has been updated with the new site address it will have stopped uploading this week

Been trying all day for my FPS but just says an error. I spoke to Iris Payroll, they said the site must be down as they are getting so many calls. They recommend I just keep trying.
- Phil Wood
  
  What is the error message? Is it ‘(502) bad gateway’?
  - Jayne Hayes
    
    No it just kept saying it couldn’t connect and it was an internal error my end. Came in this morning to several ‘successful receipts’ so who knows
    - Jonny Addy
      
      Same here, have you had any success since?
      - Julie Wood
        
        Been trying to file RTI and a CIS return since yesterday through Payroll Manager, which still says this morning – HMRC having tec difficulties and may not recognise your ID & passwrd – CIS deadline was yesterday 🙁
      - Jonny Addy
        
        managed to get a cis return done but the RTI is still having issues. 🙁
      - Julie Wood
        
        Nope, still neither for me (using MM Payroll Manager) what a pain!!
      - Jonny Addy
        
        really not needed at this time of year!!!!
      - Jonny Addy
        
        FYI i can now submit FPS’s
George

After one PAYE FPS this morning at 9:35 am, my other FPS’s are failing and the message is: Submission failed. Response was ” The remote server returned an error: (502) Bad Gateway.
- Cathy P
  
  Check it went through, I got a successful email back but when I checked the submissions log it hadn’t gone at all. Still trying 24 hours later. Grrrrrr
  - George
    
    That night I tried again and all my clients FPS went through as normal.
    However I also discovered that the HMRC have changed the paye rti web address a month ago, and the old one has just expired.
    So unless your paye software has been updated with the new site address it will have stopped uploading this week
