A heads up to anyone completing a Tax Return this year. HMRC have suspended their telephone helpline so if you have a query you can't resolve which involves obtaining a figure that you can't access through your Personal Tax Account, then you may have to consider entering an estimate and marking this as provisional on your self-assessment return.
It has been clear to agents for some time that HMRC are not coping with the demand for information and some clients who need to speak to them to get their issue resolved will have to wait until the helpline re-opens on 1st February 2024.
If we can help, do contact us and we will do our best to help you file your return on time.
