Please find below an update dated1/3/21 from HMRC's HE Team regarding Postponed VAT Accounting (PVA) statements
***********
Customers unable to access PVA statements
Some CHIEF importers are having trouble accessing CDS for the first time and therefore can’t view their Monthly Postponed Import VAT Statements. They need these statements to accurately compete their VAT returns.
This guidance also highlights the above information. Please note that HMRC will withdraw the above guidance when the issues are resolved.
February imports included on January statement
Some importers have flagged up that their January statements include imports that took place in February and are dated as such on the statement, despite their statement being headed ‘Summary of period ending 31 January 2021’.
We apologise for the inconvenience this has caused and are looking into the issue urgently.
