Government Gateway availability

Will Government Gateway still be open for VAT returns due at 31st March 2019?

Didn't find your answer?

I have a client, not currently in the cloud, but who will be after April 2019 for MTD through his accountant. At the moment I submit his VAT returns through the Government Gateway, and the last one I shall do is for the period ending 31st March 2019. I can't get any sense from emails to HMRC asking if the Gateway will still be open for when I submit that final return in 2019, probably around 25th April. I know that the Gateway will no longer be available when MTD comes in.Does anyone have any information to help re that final return?

The clue is in your question "I know the Gateway won't be available when MTD comes into force"
Who knows when MTD will come into force ?

As I understand it, law has already been passed to force the use of MTD for most VAT registered businesses from April 2019, with a trial for some from April 2018.
