Hi. I submitted my first MTD return using QuickFile last month for the June – August period. I have since found 2 purchase invoices that I need to claim VAT back on, both are older than 6 months, dated February and March. I’ve created these purchases today but when I check the VAT due to be reclaimed for the next period (September – November), neither amount has been added in the VAT to be reclaimed section. How should I go about claiming the VAT on these old purchases? Thanks in advance.
Hello @willowlad
I can see on your account, you have vat filing start date (Reports > vat returns > setting) set to 01/06/2022 the invoices/payments were Feb-April so they would be excluded.
As you have already submitted the return for the June – August period you can not amend the vat filing start date, you are probably best making a manual adjustment on your next return to claim the vat.
It may be worth speaking to your accountant first for professional advice as we are not registered accountants nor bookkeepers.
Thanks for the quick reply, Steve. I Spoke to my accountant and she’s confirmed it will be fine for a manual adjustment within the next return. Many thanks for the advice.
