VAT

Thanks again.

In my case the transactions were in QB with the VAT code applied.

I’ve tried,

  1. Removing the vat code
  2. Deleting the whole transaction.

Both the above actions cause an exception to be entered into the current open return with a minus (negative) VAT amount.

Re-applying the Vat code or re-entering the deleted transaction does put another exception on the return with a positive VAT amount, but the negative entry also stays, with 2 entries cancelling each other out. So, we’ve gained nothing.

Clearly, QB does not ‘link’ or ‘mark’ a transaction as being/not part of a VAT return. It just assumes everything prior to today has been dealt included in a return!

I have this issue with a couple of my clients, and it needs to be sorted.

 

Can you please escalate this to a higher level of support to see if they can help.
