BS2200 Sales Tax Control Account balance

My two invoices were prepaid by the client c. Mid dec and before VAT period ends 31 Dec.
VAT return report includes both invoices’ i.e. was fully paid to HMRC c. mid Jan.
Both invoices are on the sales ledger PL. Hence corporate tax was paid on the main amounts.

Why BS a/c 2200 “Sales Tax Control Account” has £VAT from both invoices as debit balance?
how can I clear BS if nobody owns anything to anybody?
