Manual adjustments on VAT return

How-to
1

I made manual adjustments in Boxes 1, 2, 6 & 7 and submitted to HMRC for 1st March - 31st March 26 - but it didn’t update Box 5 and can’t find any way to adjust the total. I’ve submitted a correction to HMRC and aware I can’t refile but need it corrected on Quickfiles.

I’ve switched off submission to HMRC and tried recalculating but adjustment still needed for sales VAT, yet box 5 doesn’t automatically adjust

Hello @oaks

You would need to save a copy of the figures submitted for reference to HMRC as you can not re submit.

Any corrections should be made on your next return

To do this

  • Go into Report > Vat Returns > Settings
  • Set the HMRC account to “No electronic filing” > Save
  • Go into Report > Vat Returns > Create >
  • Enter the period > If the figures are correct (as per what was submitted)> Submit (this will save a copy of the return as a placeholder)
  • Go back into Report > Vat Returns > Settings
  • Set the HMRC account back to your company > Save

The error was more than 10k so I’ve submitted it already to HMRC.

I’ve set it to no electronic filing and recalculate, and entered the period. But the figures for sales (Box 1) aren’t correct. When I adjust it, box 5 doesn’t change and I can’t manually edit that

Got it now thank you
