Confirming VAT submission

[yogi]

I have tried to submit the first VAT Return under MTD for Quarter ended 31/03/2019. I have not yet received any acknowledgement from HMRC to say that they have received the VAT return. But the Quickfile report states “submitted”. How do I ensure that this has been submitted and my client will not incur any late submission penalty. I have attached a screenshot. Can you please help.
Kind Regards
Yoga

Hi @yogi

If the return is showing as “Submitted” along with a correlation or receipt ID when you view it, it would have been received by HMRC.

However, if you want peace of mind, you can log into your HMRC tax account and view the submissions there.

Hope this helps.

Thank you Mathew but I can not seea a correlation or receipt ID. I will get in touch with HMRC and find out.

MTD Filing

There is no confirmation email on submission of an MTD VAT return - if the submission worked in QuickFile then it worked at HMRC, there isn’t the few minutes delay between submission and acceptance that you used to have under the old system. If you want to check, log in to https://www.tax.service.gov.uk/business-account, “view your VAT details”, then “submitted returns”, and you should see details of the return listed there.
