MTD VAT return including an out-of-scope invoice

[robjhallett]

the logic behind the summation of the UK/EU sales from posted invoices has a bug.

It collects , but it shouldn’t, sales to non-EU based companies where VAT isn’t charged.

So beware those of you making a Q2 vat return soon, you’ll need to manually amend the submission

Hi @robjhallett

Can I check, were the invoices flagged as such (e.g. “out of scope”)?

[robjhallett]

yes, and the vat shown on the invoice was zero, and the supplier set as USA based.

The MTD consolidator applied a fictitious VAT amount, and then added this to UK/EU turnover which is wrong.

Let me send you a private message to get a few more details about this, and we’ll take a look.

For anyone else who comes across this thread:
If you have an invoice that is out of scope, it would need to flagged as such. If it’s enabled at a client-level, it also needs to be enabled at an invoice level.
