Just a quickie: our broadband upload speed has been almost non-existent, for a whole week. Great timing. In the event we have put together Don't panic! It's only Self-assessment, a quick guide dealing with last-minute and late filing issues, together with useful links, such as one to HMRC's reasonable excuse form.

Kind regards
