VAT online services down
25/03/2011
HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC) have issued a release warning that their online VAT service will be unavailable between 07.00 on 4 April and 06:00 on 6 April 2011. It will not be possible to submit a VAT Return, set up a direct debit or view an account online during this period.
If your online VAT return has a due date of 7 April, HMRC strongly recommends that your VAT return is submitted before 4 April to ensure you meet this date. If this is not possible, then you should submit your return as soon as possible when the service resumes on 6 April. If you are a day or two late because you are unable to access the system, and you cannot submit by 7 April, during this period of unavailability HMRC will adopt a light touch approach.
