I started using Quickfile from 01/01/19 so looking to use this for MTD.
I have always used my own spreadsheets so running this alongside for at least my first return. My return ending 31/03/19 is now ready to send.
My spreadsheet figures for input sales agree with the quickfile payments total Jan-Mar however when creating the VAT report for the same period there is a difference both on the VAT due and total of sales ex VAT of £442.35 inc VAT
At the bottom of the VAT return, you can download a list of calculations. This will show you what we’ve included to calculate the figures in the return itself. I would in the first instance check these.
Also check your settings, for example your scheme (accrual or accounting) and whether you have flat rate enabled.
Almost resolved….Although the VAT return start date showed 01/01/19 and correct when viewing the VAT report, the VAT settings had the start date was 10/01/19.
I adjusted this to the start of the year and the figures are closer.
However they are still out by £82.06. So I searched and found a payment that appears in the payment received window but does not appear in the VAT report downloaded calculations.
This payment sits inside the VAT period and after and before other payments.
