I noticed last vat return was wrong, This time Ive downloaded the css file. It shows some lines as zero for vat amount. But when I find and click on that purchase it show the vat amount. So the vat return is not adding it up or doing it right.
What should I do it not very trust worthy using quickfile
Hello @apnew
I have had a look at your account and I can confirm the figures are correct.
As you are on cash accountant the software uses the payment dates (the tax point) to calculate the VAT
For example
#PP000040 was entered with a date of 21/07/2023 for £600 which needs to be recorded on this return as this is the tax point.
The invoice it is paying off however (QF00040) is dated as 04/08/2023 and would fall within the next period.
This means on your next return it would apportion off the net vat split of the invoice accordingly (as far as this return is concerned the invoice hasn’t happened yet)
It is entirely normal to see the full payment showing as net when a prepayment is paying a later dated invoice.
I noticed I was on cash accounting I changed that back.
Thanks for looking
