VAT liability correction help

[qfstar]

Hi, I know this subject has a few forum discussions but I can not seem to find a solution for my issue.
I paid one VAT quarter through HMRC and tagged the payment as a VAT payment
For this period I hadn’t been using QF to do the VAT returns.

My VAT Liability is showing as being in credit by this amount.
How would I correct this ?
Would I need to create a new journal entry for this payment and if so how would I do that ?
Thank you

Hi @qfstar

If you run a dummy VAT return for the period this will create the VAT postings needed to balance the VAT liability nominal

Thank you for the reply.
This sounds ideal but I can not see how to create a dummy VAT return.
I feel a bit of a dummy myself having to ask but how would I go about this ?

Hi @qfstar

Reports >> VAT Returns is where you’d create the VAT return.

If you are enrolled with MTD you’ll need to remove your online filing settings so that the return is just saved rather than submitted
