VAT payment deferral ended on 30th June. Direct debits need to be reinstated.The deferral of VAT payments, due to coronavirus, came to an end on 30th June. Businesses need to take action to reinstate their direct debit mandates. Unfortunately, this cannot be done by DRG and you will need to use your Government Gateway login details to set up the new direct debit. Please ensure you reinstate your direct debit mandate at least 3 working days before you submit your online VAT return, otherwise the payment will not be taken from your bank account in time.
