Hi when i sent my last vat return periods 7 8 9 2022 after submitting to HMRC I realised i had left something out so did roll back but then realised it was to late so made a note to correct on next return , but now i have prepared my return for periods 10 11 12 2022 the amount payable is double my normal amount so I am guessing it is including the roll back amount thinking it has not been paid how do i correct this to get a true amount payable for the period due ? .
You will need to temporarily disable online filing in your QuickFile VAT settings and re-generate and save the return for the previous period, making manual adjustments if required to make the numbers agree with the return you actually submitted. Then turn online filing back on, and prepare the current return again, and if you had to make any adjustments to the previous one then make those same adjustments in reverse to this one (if you added 10 to a box there then subtract 10 from the same box here, etc.).
The behaviour you’re seeing of QuickFile pulling in unreconciled items from earlier quarters is by design, and is why you should not roll back a return if you discover minor errors. If there’s an item you find you’d missed out after a return is submitted then you can simply enter it as normal with its original date and it will be accounted for in the next available return automatically. If there’s an item you included by mistake then you can credit note it on the same date as the mistaken entry and again the credit will be accounted for in the next return you submit.
Hi Ian
Many thanks all done
