VAT payment from HMRC

Hi
I am new to Quickfile and about to receave a payment back from HMRC for VAT. How do I enter in incoming tax payment?

Hi @Chris_Dabbs

Welcome to QuickFile! :slight_smile:

Generally this would be entered into your bank statement and tagged as a refund. However, how have you started with QuickFile? For example, have you imported a trial balance from another accounting package?

New company, new account so you reply is perfect. Thank you

Hi @Chris_Dabbs

No problem!

Just to confirm, assuming you’re reclaiming VAT, you should have a VAT return on your account to balance the figure out, otherwise your balance sheet will show this as a liability. This can be done by adding a VAT return on your account, or it could have been done as a result of a trial balance (hence why I asked above).

Let me know if we can help further :slight_smile:
