Customs duty – HMRC systems planned downtime 4 July 2021

HMRC have advised the CIOT that there will be a period of planned work to some of their systems on Sunday 4th July, which will result in an outage to CHIEF between 18.00 and 20.00hrs.

Other planned downtime for HMRC systems this weekend:

HMRC had previously planned to take NCTS down for over two hours during the morning of June 16^th, but following feedback from industry the outage was of reduced duration and scope. The deferred work will  be conducted at 01:00 on Sunday July 4th, with completion expected by 03:45hrs. GVMS will also be down during this period for an upgrade; this will take place on the 3rd of July at 23:59 BST to 05:00am BST 4th of July (5 hours).

HMRC thanks you for your patience during this period of essential maintenance.
