VAT doesn't add up

The total VAT to reclaim doesn’t match the total I did

Are you on cash accounting by any chance?

Under cash accounting it’s the date of payment that decides which return each item belongs to, not the date of the invoice. If you have a purchase invoice dated 25th September and you paid the supplier on 2nd October, then you reclaim the VAT on your Oct-Dec return, not your Jul-Sep one.

Sorry, problem solved, human error!! Brain ceased functioning after a long day.
