I think there is a bug on the online self assessment system has anyone also seen the following. Tried explaining to their helpline but they were totally useless, just shipped in off the street 
Basically I did it online and submitted it, once submitted I could see a number of icons on the left of the screen, one of them was called 'Tax Calculation' which showed a summary of your 05/06 return, balancing payments and payments on account due. The other option 'View/Print/Save' let you actually see the return.
Now Im compared like them to each other, the figures were the same in both, HOWEVER, if I selected the 'Tax Calculation' option I would display the following,
'Tax Calculation'
Balancing Payment 05/06 £50
1st Payment on account 06/07 £100
2nd Payment on account 06/07 £100
Total Due 31 Jan 07 £150
However if I looked on the figures hanging of the Actual Tax return they were the same but dates were different. They were telling me I had a balancing payment for 05/06 but that my first payment on account for 05/06 was also due, how can I pay a payment on account for a tax year already gone.
'View/Print/Save Option'
Balancing Payment 05/06 £50
1st Payment on account 05/06 £100
2nd Payment on account 05/06 £100
Total Due 31 Jan 07 £150
So tax calc right with payment on account for 06/07 but dates used in return are 05/06. That sounds like crap to me, anyone else seen this ?
