Accounting Error and Missed VAT Return

Hello @SpaceGhost

When I looked to see how to send it, there was no option to do so.

This is because the returns can only be submitted in chronological order

The steps have been outlined by @ian_roberts in the link below

Please note where he mentions adjustments as your May-July return includes transactions from the missing return

I managed to send my VAT return for period ended 31 July, but I noticed an error. For one purchase I had entered a VAT rate of 20%, but it should have been nil. Consequently, an incorrect VAT payment is showing as payable. How do I correct this error?

Once the return is submitted no changes can be made to it, you would need to correct this on the next return.

  • Raise a credit/refund for it it the next period
  • Re raise the invoice/payment for it in the next period

The net effect will show on the next return as both transactions will be picked up
