Submission Deadlines

Intra EU Trade Statistics must be submitted monthly by the tenth working day of the following month to HM Customs and Excise, although you can submit them more frequently. HM Customs and Excise combines submissions from the same month to produce a monthly total.

In contrast, the EU Sales List is required quarterly within six weeks of the calendar quarter end, but it can also be submitted monthly. When you submit the EU Trade Statistics and EU Sales List together, they must be submitted monthly to meet the EU Trade Statistics due date. You must advise the local VAT office if you intend to submit the electronic EU Sales List monthly.
