Hi
I have made a mistake! I am hoping somebody can help me.
So i accidentally submitted my vat return and it was locking down. I realised my error so I rolled it back. I had forgotten to include a significant sale.
When i look in the vat return reports the quarter is missing. When i go to create it shows the quarter as filed and i can only view and not prepare. Under view it says “This return has been rolled back on QuickFile. Click here to view original submission”
So firstly does that mean no vat return has been submitted? Secondly, How do i now submit the correct vat return as the option is missing?
Under MTD rules you can not re submit a vat period. The invoice you missed would need to be included in your next return.
When you rollback a return it has no affect on your HMRC account it is only an internal process.
You need to recreate and save the return your rolled back with the figures you submitted to HMRC as this will flag them as vat reconciled in QuickFile (so they do not affect later returns).
To do this
Delete the invoice you added.
Go to Reports > Vat Returns > Settings
Change the HMRC account to “No electronic filing” > Save
Go to Reports > Vat Returns > Create and enter the period you rolled back.
Check the figures match what was submitted and Submit/Save the return
Go to Reports > Vat Returns > Settings
Change the HMRC back to your company > Save
You should now see the rolled back return in the vat returns screen showing as “Saved” (this is normal) nothing has been sent to HMRC but the figures have been re reconciled.
You can now restore/recreate the invoice you deleted earlier and it will get picked up on your next return.
