How do I check the HMRC Making Tax Digital for VAT service status?

You can check the GOV.UK website for current issues and planned downtime for the Making Tax Digital for VAT service.

HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC) have a website dedicated to the status of their online services. Here you can check for current service issues and planned downtime.

• To check the HMRC service status, visit the GOV.UK service availability page.

We recommend you check the service status before you submit your VAT Return under Making Tax Digital.
