VAT - Phantom Invoice Bug?

[James4]

Hi there, I’m trying to submit my first MTD VAT return.

I’ve uploaded three invoices totalling £6665 ex VAT.

The system has accurately generated a Total Vat Due (Box 3) as £1333.

However, the system has generated a figure of £8165 for Total value of sales exc VAT (Box 6).

When I export the CSV summary data, it states there is an ‘extra’ invoice for the same amount as one of the invoices but there isn’t a related invoice number and it’s zero rated for VAT? It’s this ‘extra’ invoice that’s generating the error for Box 6.

However, this ‘extra’ invoice is not listed in the ‘Show all sales’ summary?

All tips very welcome!

Best
JC

Hello @James4

Are you on cash accounting?

Does this extra amount relate to a prepayment?

You can check prepayments by the viewing Sales > View Payments screen

Thanks Steve, that’s done the job, there was an incorrect prepayment which I’ve cancelled. Thanks!
