Hello there, MCooney.
There are several reasons why the transactions are showing in the VAT Exception report. I've listed some of the causes why these entries appear in the report:
- Unpaid Invoices: Invoices marked as unpaid that were previously filed can appear as exceptions, especially if they were paid in a different reporting period but still appear in the current one.
- Edited Transactions: Any entries that are modified after it was included in a previously filed VAT return will trigger an exception.
- Deleted Transactions: If a transaction part of a filed VAT return is deleted, it will also appear as an exception.
- Late Entries: Transactions entered after the filing of a VAT return may be flagged as exceptions if they fall within the same reporting period.
Since the invoice for September was paid in November, it is the reason why it shows in the VAT Exception report.
To rectify this, it would be better to contact our QuickBooks Support specialist directly. They are the ones equipped with tools to further investigate why the transactions are showing both in the VAT Exception report and the Sales VAT report. Please consider getting in touch with them to help you fix it.
