UK: Clarifying UK VAT return deadlines
HMRC are seeing more late VAT returns when the deadline falls on a weekend or bank holiday. Some businesses and agents believe returns can be submitted the next working day. This is not correct. VAT return deadlines do not change if they fall on a weekend or bank holiday. HMRC accepts VAT returns on weekends and bank holidays. Late submissions may lead to penalties. If you cannot submit on those days, you should submit and pay by the last working day before the deadline.
