If you’re having problems with your June 2022 statements....

HMRC have advised that there has been a technical issue with statements produced in June 2022 following reports that some importers have been unable to access their monthly VAT reports.


HMRC have identified the cause of the issue and are working to rectify it.


You should not download or use figures on statements that were published between 4 July 2022 and 8 July 2022. Corrected statements will be issued shortly and will show on your dashboard with a date later than 13 July 2022.

HMRC have further advised that as long as you take reasonable care to follow the guidance, there will be no penalty for errors.
