Small change to the SEF rulebook from 1 August that is worth knowing about. There is now a fixed maintenance window every night, 01:00 to 06:00, and anything you would have recorded during an outage moves to the first working day after it comes back. If you run overnight batches into SEF, get that window into the scheduler before it bites.

Is there a firm start date for the preliminary VAT return, or is the rulebook running ahead of the law on that one?

January 2027 for monthly filers, it applies to tax periods starting after 31 December 2026. The rulebook chapter was just published early. Worth reading alongside Article 4a, since it is the recipient recording input tax that feeds the return.
