Hi, I’ve got a discrepancy on my VAT return. It is showing £131.60 more in Box 6 (Flat Rate Turnover) than it shows on a search for payments in that VAT date range. It also shows that I need to pay £15.90 more VAT (Box 5) than my calculations.
I know it’s only a small amount, but it’s the first time it’s ever been different and I just can’t understand it. It’s really annoying. We’re cash accounting, flat rate vat, so it’s based on incoming payments. Any ideas?
If you export the data for the VAT return you may find that it has picked up something from outside the date range - this could be because it was entered after the last VAT return was finalised
That’s really helpful. I’ve just exported it & can see the two amounts which I think I must have paid by credit already in their accounts. Many thanks for your help!
