HMRC PAYE / NI Online 2008 - OK

My fourth year of using this HMRC PAYE / NI online service: Another government form successfully submitted ... I hope! All went fairly smoothly; the individual web-pages were reasonably clear; even near the end of the rather tight deadline, the service seemed quite fast; an acknowledgement email arrived promptly. Overall - for people who have broadband - this HMRC online service is much better than the old paper forms.

Update: Don’t miss HMRC’s video podcast which tries to explain this service: It’s easy to mock the upbeat tone and phrases such as “… a simple five step process ...” but it’s a good attempt and reasonably clear to people who have used the paper forms.

Note: Ordinary PAYE employees are shielded from the horrendous complexity of the UK’s Tax and NI system. This video gives a tiny insight.

Wibbis:
1. Instead of using “print” from the web-browser, I’d like the option to download PDFs of the completed forms.
2. Although you’re typing figures taken from PAYE & NI forms, it would still be useful if all boxes had descriptive labels (or even descriptive help) rather than labels such as “1e.”
3. Is it really essential for all UK companies to files this information in the short space between the end of the tax year and the 19th May?

Ideal Government

Let's say what we want from e-enabled government. Let's observe government first-hand. Let's say "Wouldn't It Be Better If" (WIBBI). Become an ethnographer of bureaucracy today! It beats getting frustrated with public services.
