VAT online system taken down for routine maintenance on 7th of the month!!!

VAT online system taken down for routine...

Didn't find your answer?

 I received a clients VAT figures today, safe in knowledge that I could file the return online this evening, only to find out that HMRC have taken it offline until 11.59 for a routine upgrade.  I can't believe they would do this on the 7th, surely any other day of the month would have been better.   

Not happy! (11.40 and counting)

Wait for the penalty to arrive. Perhaps HMRC have found an easy way to make some money with little aggravation
