Have HMRC confirmed that they will be giving an amnesty for late-filed returns in connection with the long bank holiday weekend, eg a VAT return due on May 31 but not filed until June 6?

Just to clarify
It is now compulsory to file VAT returns online and pay electronically. The online filing deadline is 7th June, a working day. If you pay the VAT by direct debit, it will be taken 3 working days later on 12th June. HMRC now operates the faster payment system, so payment by online banking on the 7th might meet the deadline for non-DD electronic payment of receipt by the 7th.
Bank holidays
... do not affect the deadline. It is 7 calendar days after the end of the month, so the deadline for filing returns up to 30 April is 7th June.
