I was too scared to post this earlier today as I felt such a wally for leaving it so late!!!
I had the accounts prepared ages ago, so knew I had no tax to pay but a small bill for Class 4 NI (I have a dd set up and pay monthly, but I guess my earnings took me over this amount).
Well, when I finally psyched myself up to hit 'submit' this morning (!) BUT it said at the end 'nothing to pay'. I was v confused as it had clearly stated the NI amount to pay earlier on (and is on the final printout I did seconds before I hit submit).
Then, predictably, the paynow system kept timing out, so I started to panic about the fine - is it for not submitting the return? Or not paying the bill? Does it apply to NI only payments???
Anyway, I decided to pay via my online bank, and hopefully did it correctly. It said it would go through within 2 hours (and I made sure to print that page too).
Does anyone else know why it would say 'nothing to pay' when there was, in fact, NI to pay??? Am I missing something? Do they change your DD amounts or something?! Will I have ended up paying twice?! :blush:
