About HMRC

HMRC is listed in our Government category and checked at gov.uk. HMRC is the UK tax authority; its online services handle Self Assessment and PAYE.

HMRC has no official status feed we can read, so this page relies on our own checks and user reports.

What usually goes wrong with HMRC: Self Assessment login errors near the 31 January deadline, payments failing, and service downtime.

Response time over the last 24 hours: 698 ms average, 25–2809 ms range across 14 successful checks.

Questions

Is HMRC down right now?

Checks are succeeding and user reports are near the baseline.

How fast does HMRC respond?

698 ms on average over the last 24 hours (25–2809 ms).

Does HMRC have an official status page?

Not one we can read. This page uses independent checks of gov.uk and user reports.

HMRC not working for me but the status is fine. What now?

It is usually local: try another browser or the app, switch between Wi-Fi and mobile data, and clear the cache. For HMRC, watch for Self Assessment login errors near the 31 January deadline, payments failing, and service downtime. If many people report HMRC here at once, the problem is on HMRC's side.
