Stamp taxes downtime

printer Mail

HMRC’s stamp taxes online service will be unavailable from midnight on Friday 24 June to 7.00 am on Monday 4 July, due to a scheduled upgrade of the IT system.

‘If you use commercial software you will be unable to submit your returns at this time. We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause,’ HMRC said.

A penalty notice may be issued where a return filed online on or after 4 July is ‘now late but would not have been late if filed during shutdown’. So long as the return is filed without unreasonable delay and an appeal is made, HMRC will cancel the penalty.

Further guidance is provided on the HMRC website.
