Created VAT Return but showing saved and no option to submit nor rollback

[Ftech]

Hello. I have created VAT return for Q3 2022 and it shows as saved in returns. There is no way to submit it nor rollback (so I can submit it as after trying other methods.) Is there any other way to get this submitted please?

Hi @Ftech

If the VAT return is showing as “Saved”, you can roll it back using the button found at the bottom of the return itself -

The only time this wouldn’t appear is if this isn’t the latest VAT return, as they have to be rolled back in the correct order. So if, for example, you have a return for Nov '22 - Jan '23, and one for Feb '23 - Apr '23, you can’t roll back the Nov-Jan one until the Feb-Apr one has been rolled back.

Once it’s rolled back, you should then be able to recreate it and submit as normal.

Hope that helps!

Hi.

Many thanks for getting back. Appreciate it. Does this mean if I roll back the submitted ones, it does not effect the ones already on HMRC. But just on quickfile portal?

Thanks.

Rolling back a return on QuickFile only affects QuickFile, and not HMRC.

If you need to roll back a submitted return and just have it saved again on your account, it can be a bit trickier, but we can walk you through it if you’re in that situation.
