VAT Return inc previous year

I am trying to file my return for Dec '20-Feb '21 where I have had no earnings or purchases & expected to just file 0. However it is showing purchases of £20K which, having downloaded in csv I can see are purchases dating back to March '20??

Hi @PJekyll

Is this your first return on QuickFile?

Hi. No, I’ve done about 6

Kind regards

Something would have triggered these being pulled in now, but it’s likely to be something simple.

Are you on cash or accrual accounting for VAT?

If you are on cash accounting and received payment for those invoices between Dec 20 and Feb 21 then they will be included in your vat return.

Hi. These were payments out rather than payments in & I’m on accruals

Kind regards

Hi @PJekyll

As you’re on accrual accounting for VAT, when were these invoices input to your account? If they were recent, or at least after the VAT period they belong to, then they will be pulled in now.

QuickFile automatically pulls in any relevant invoices that have been missed, to ensure everything is accounted for.

The other thing to check is your VAT start date in your VAT settings.
