The link between Sage Desktop and HMRC isn't working at the moment. Sage have advised that they are working on it and to keep trying to submit every hour.

Thanks Sophie, I have managed to complete my CIS return through SAGE no problem but VAT doesn’t want to know!

I’ll try again in an hour or so

I have just spoken to Sage - eventually got through... and they say it isn't them its the HMRC system thats actually down .... and that we should keep trying.

The Sage lady said that HMRC are saying that if we have a deadline and we miss it then there won't be aby penalties...

Who to believe then....hmmm....
