HMRC intend to have the issue in hand asap....

Some businesses declaring to PVA (code G on the import declaration) have been reporting being unable to download their MPIVS report for the month of September.


We have reported this to HMRC who are giving this issue urgent attention.


The advice from HMRC to affected businesses is:

  • To continue to check the CDS dashboard ahead of the submission of the VAT return
  • If the statement remains unavailable, then estimate the September import VAT using company records
  • Any necessary VAT adjustment can be made the following month
