Will be interesting to look on as folk start getting locked up for life for not having digital links.

Sorry for your loss :)
Alas I recall the death of its parent, the Purchase Tax Return, which expired in 1973.
for one dreadful moment i thought you had retired early
Today 15th April I can still access the old portal for two non-MTD clients with March '21 VAT returns to complete.
Can't you get in to anything, the whole design has changed but you can still file without MVD
Yes, going in through my Online Services for Agents Account (not the new Agent Services Account) I can access and populate q/e March '21 VAT returns. And I can still see a "Send" button.
All of which surprised me, because I'd imagined from this thread that it was a deceased parrot. Seems it can still move!

Heh heh! What have the Revenue ever done for us?
I've just spent almost an hour on the phone to HMRC's alleged VAT helpline trying to change our agent's address. Now I can see from our own Gateway that our own VAT address has updated , but does that auto change the agent's address (which isn't visible when I log into our Agent's Account). Cue a lot of explaining that we don't act as our own agents; and that sending a 64-8 isn't going to help thank you very much as it's our address we want to change, not clients' addresses.
