HMRC’s VAT online service will be unavailable between 6am on Thursday 4 April and 6am on Saturday 6 April to allow for a scheduled upgrade, the department has announced.
‘During this period you will not be able to register or deregister for VAT, or to make changes to your registration details, online. Neither will you be able to view your account, arrange a new direct debit, or submit a VAT return,’ HMRC said.
‘HMRC apologises for any inconvenience this may cause. HMRC strongly recommend that if you who need to submit a return by 7 April you do so before 4 April. If that is not possible you can of course submit your return when the system is back up on 6 April and 7 April.
‘You can make payments even while you are unable to access the VAT online service. You should make sure that your payment clears to HMRC’s account by 7 April. Remember, this can take up to three working days.’
Further guidance is provided on the HMRC website, and details of this and other service issues – including interruptions to the corporation tax and self-assessment online services – are set out in the department’s service availability pages.
