When will HMRC join the 21st century and allow on-line payments ?

They do allow online payments, but only if you have the reference number, so you can't do the whole thing exclusively online.

I paid mine by bank transfer, but had to quote the 18 digit reference number I had been given over the 'phone.

Same here - out of cheques

You can write out a valid cheque on a piece of paper. Include your bank details, account details, your signature, the date, the amount to be transferred and details of the payee.

Because I suspect getting the system to do that would need a massive upgrade and we all know how much would cost and how well it usually goes

While technically true, how likely do you think it would be that something like this would sail seamlessly through HMRC's systems and processes....?
