Accountants and HMRC. My tax, my responsibility. But no my accountants now sacked have made it so I can't do a tax return. 1 hour 12mins on phone to HMRC, go through security twice for Gateway number - she said 'll email it - and 2nd check to confirm my UTR is correct, it was but thwur system locked me out saying it was incorrect last night, hence the need to call.
All good at this stage. But she then tells me I can't submit my own tax return and she needs to unlock that.
So a 3rd security check was needed to unlock my self assessment all fine until she asked me how much tax I'd paid this year - I said ask me about 23/24 cos I have all my data. No tell me about 24/25. I say well I dont have that data cos I have a whole year to gather that info dont I?
She says it's on your P45 from the umbrella company I used in Sept 24, I said it's on an online system I can't access right now.
What a ridiculous palaver HMRC needs to sort itself out.
My tax my responsibility - 1 security assessment should have been enough, 2 was asking some but 3 security assessments and asking about this tax year and then wishing me a good evening after telling me she will do nothing for me, not even send me my gateway number.
Well that kid I spoke to can go F herself too.
And now I have to find 1.5 hours of time before 6pm tomorrow to call HMRC again.
The world is F up by stupidity.
