Online Tax Return

Online Tax Return
Just tried to do my UK tax return online like I did last year. My address details are already in the system but now it won't accept them as I don't have a UK postcode. Have they changed the rules so people outside UK can no longer do returns online? I've missed the deadline for postal returns.

Re: Online Tax Return
As I understand it, you can still do it online (I do, but I also have a UK address).
As you apparently don't, a possible work-around for this year may be to complete the return using your last UK address and in the "Any other information" box, say that you are in the process of moving to Hungary and that your new address will be ... etc.
That will hopefully do the trick for this years return, next year you should be able to beat the deadline for a postal return

Yes, I phoned them and that's what I was told. I have to wait 72 hours for the address change to go through before filing the return. I will probably then email them with my Hungary address as that is one of the few things they accept by email.

I don't know if the 72 hours means weekdays only but the software finally let me file the return this morning so that's quite a relief!
