Unable to file CIS returns - 'Your submission has been sent, but not yet received by HM Revenue & Customs. Please come back later for your results.'

Yet more time unnecessarily wasted by HMRC's useless digital systems. Tax shouldn't be taxing, so why make it so?

Not receiving access code.

Looks like HMRC's response times are bad today. But it would help if, instead of saying "this may take a few minutes" HMRC would admit that there are delays so that I don't tear my hair out worrying about whether there's a problem with my login
