Hi Graham.

There's some code I wrote at https://gitlab.com/saxicola/hmrc_self_submit it may be useful as a starter hint.

The cpp stuff never got very far but the python test code to submit earnings worked with their sandbox.
I never got into the VAT part. And I've done nothing since the last commit.

Their API has changed a little since I last tested it.

Register as a developer https://developer.service.hmrc.gov.uk/api-documentation

Mike Evans
