Please read the following HMRC forum thread which suggests HMRC have given zero thought to how non-UK residents file electronic CGT property disposal returns. They belatedly extended the filing deadline to 60 days from 30 days, but it appears even if they increased it to 600 years, some will not be able to file electronically. Remember this lot are responsible for introducing MTD for IT. I suggest tying those responsible to an Everton goalpost and allowing the Goodison crowd to do their thing.

Tried the Report a problem link the digital team say the site is working as designed and its not a technical issue, So back to square 1 non residents cannot use the site as it seems to be designed to exclude anyone who does not have a UK address. Digital team will not help. Any suggestions?

Hi Andrew Jeeves,
You are correct, most of the options provided rely on information that you'd only have if you lived in the UK.
Thank you.

So for the past 9 months since this thread started, those of us who live o/s still can't access the system. I have to ask, does the last message from HRMC, "You are correct, most of the options provided rely on information that you'd only have if you lived in the UK.", help any of us at all? No, it doesn't.
I think what we are looking for is a solution for the issue, not a message confirming what we already know. HRMC would know that there will be people who need access from o/s, yet have designed a system that deliberately excludes us. So could HRMC explain to us what they intend to do to remedy this situation?

Hi Andrew Jeeves,
There is no other way to verify other than through the questions being asked, if you cannot answer using the options being provided you will not be able to verify for the account.
Thank you.

Hi Steve,
We apologise if you found our response unhelpful, we can only comment on the system that is currently in place.
We do not have any information regarding potential changes to the online verification system.
Thank you.

I was not given the full list of options. Is it possible to verify using services like GOV.UK VERIFY?

Hi kwilkie
If you are not resident in the UK you will not be able to use gov.uk verify.
That service will no longer be available for HMRC services from 01/04/2022.
Thankyou.
Regards.
