Hello. I accidentally declared some vat on receipts back wich i shouldnt have. i found out after it was submitted. when i saw they were locked off because of this, i thought i had to push the rolling over option, as it said this was the only way to unlock this. I now have no idea how to proceed from here, as my next one is due in 4 days. i am now stressing out how to change this so it is all correct.
i cant seem to find how to undo the sending online to hrmc function to then file it again and then change. could you help me please
Hello @erinstoffer
Once submitted you can not “undo” a return.
You must make corrections on the next return either by reversing (e.g. credit and refund an invoice/receipt) or posting a manual correction on the return.
If you do the latter you will need to post further corrections on a later return to re show the values as the original invoices/receipts will not be picked up again.
Thank you! Have been staring at it all afternoon and think i have it now figured out! Thank you for the response.

If you’ve rolled back the previous return you will need to go to your QuickFile vat settings and use the HMRC account drop down to disable online filing, then prepare and save the VAT quarter again. If you’ve made any additional credits or replacement entries to try and correct the problem then you’re best undoing those first and saving a new return that exactly matches the numbers you originally submitted. When you’ve saved the return then go back to your settings and turn the online filing back on for next time.
Once the return has been saved, then you should create the credits and new entries to fix things - you can create them with the correct dates during the previous quarter, they’ll still be picked up and used by the next return automatically.
