My first VAT return was from the 02/04/14-31/07/14 and Quickfile won’t let me reconcile the return as the date period is for more than 3 months. What is the best way to address this issue?
Are you filing for your first period? Are you also submitting electronically to HMRC through QuickFile?
It was my first VAT return and I did submit electronically on the HMRC website but I only calculated the VAT return in Quickfile, I didn’t submit it to HMRC from Quickfile.
You will need to set the start and end dates to the first and last day of the respective months. Other than that we don’t restrict the VAT return periods. I tested this recently and didn’t have any problems saving the first VAT return in QF.
