UK: Deadline extended for final VAT returns after cancellation of registration
Effective June 13, 2025, businesses will have one month and seven days from the final return's availability.
HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC) in May 2025 issued regulations extending the deadline for submitting a final value added tax (VAT) return following cancellation of VAT registration.
Effective June 13, 2025, businesses will have one month and seven days from the final return's availability, mitigating penalties due to processing delays.
This update is formalized in the VAT (Amendment) Regulations SI 2025/578.
