Claiming purchase vat on invoices posted late

Does quick file automatically pick up vat not claimed on a purchase invoice if the invoice is in a different vat period from the vat return being submitted? ie Purchase invoice is in May 2020 and my next return ends July 2021. I found some missing invoices when reconciling my accounts!

Yes, provided the purchases are after your “vat start date” if you have set one.

When you submit a return it will include all invoices/purchases (if you’re on accrual accounting) or payments (if you’re on cash accounting) that are

  • dated on or after your vat start date and
  • dated on or before the end of the quarter you’re filing and
  • not already locked by a previous return

Phew, thanks for your quick reply Ian.
