Unable to file VAT return as rolled back

[HayleyA]

Hi HELP,

I went to submit the first VAT return and the MTD was not setup so corrected that and the return only shows as Rolled Back how do I now get it to allow you to resubmit?

TIA

Hi @HayleyA

You would need to re-create the VAT return and submit it at the same time.

HMRC are currently experiencing some issues, so I’m not sure how much luck you’ll have doing this at the moment. But if you go to Reports >> VAT Returns, you should be asked to select your VAT period. Once you’ve done that, just make sure the filing option is ticked at the bottom of the page, and you’re good to go.

Thanks does that mean I will need to delete and reinsert all the transactions for the quarter.

No, not at all. All the transactions can remain there, it’s just the VAT return you would need to recreate.

So when you go to create a return for the same period, it will just recalculate as it did the first time.

Hope that helps!
