Hello, If the deadline for submitting a VAT return in the UK falls on a weekend , when is the revised deadline for submission ? Is it the previous working day? Thank you

Yes, it will be the previous working day, which is usually Friday. https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/vat-default-surcharge-officers-guide/vdsog400 "Weekends and bank holidays If the due date falls on a Saturday, Sunday or bank holiday, payment must clear into HMRCs bank account by the working day before the due date, unless the taxpayer’s bank allows faster payments on weekends or bank holidays."

Hi.
The deadline for the return is a month and 7 days calander days after the end of the period:
Please see the guide below
Send a VAT Return.
As regards the payment then this would need to reach us on the last working day before the 7th if the 7th falls on a weekend or a bank holiday.

Hi, For example, in cases where the deadline for the VAT return falls on a weekend (the 7th day being a Saturday or Sunday), does the deadline then fall on the previous working day? friday? Thank you.

Hi.
The deadline for the VAT return is the 7th of the month regardless of what day this falls on
