No VAT penalty if you missed the first quarterly MTD deadline
The window to sign up to MTD for your first VAT return has closed for the 7 August submissions (30 June quarter), if you pay via direct debit.
HMRC have said that they will not penalise you this time for missing the deadline, but that you must sign up to MTD once the first direct debit payment has been taken.
Although HMRC will not penalise you, they will send a letter telling you that you missed the deadline and asking you to take action.
