VAT Return submitted - no HMRC payment taken

I have submitted my Q3 2025 VAT return and got an HMRC receipt ID. I have linked my Business Tax Bank Account (Tide) for MTD, but no payment has been taken & I am being charged penalty payments. Can someone explain why this has happened pls.

Thanks

Nick

Hello @nickboddington

QuickFile will enable you to submit your vat return data to HMRC but there is no payments made from QuickFile.

I have linked my Business Tax Bank Account (Tide)

You can set up a bank feed but this will import transactions into QuickFile from your bank statement automatically.

No payments can be made to HMRC using QuickFile.
