HMRC has asked us to share details of planned service downtime during which as a result some services will be unavailable.

To allow delivery of additional functionality, essential maintenance to the Making Tax Digital (MTD) VAT Service Downtime has been scheduled from 4 pm on Saturday 11th May until 4 pm on Monday 13th May.

During the maintenance period, users will be unable to:

  • Review and update any business details.

The Service availability pages on GOV.UK will be updated to include details of the downtime. So please make sure to check there for any updates.

They also mentioned that the MTD Income Tax pilot is unaffected by this maintenance.

HMRC has apologised for any inconvenience this may cause.
