Hi Ethel, thanks for your reply.  My problem actually is that, on my VAT detail report, only my sales are showing on the VAT report and not my purchases. At Supplier "All" is ticked.. But no Supplier VAT amounts are showing.  Also when I click on VAT on the left pane and the VAT return pops up - there is only an amount under "collected on sales" but R0 under "paid in purchases". However, when I click on Accounting in the left bar and I go to Chart of Accounts, VAT Expense and I run the report of the VAT Expense account, there is a total amount at the bottom of the report and I can see that the VAT for the expenses pulled through.  But it is not recording on the VAT return.  So this baffles me.  Why does my VAT Expenses not reflect on the VAT Report?  I so hope you can help me as this is my VAT report that I need to submit and am a bit lost.
