I need to submit my latest VAT return.
When I generate the details and then download them there is a rogue entry in the Box 7 details
The last entry here - 26/04/2026 from Amazon does not exist.
Why has this been included?
How do I generate the correct VAT return without this rogue entry?
Hello @bebaca_chris
The entry is for a prepayment on your Amazon supplier account as there is no invoice allocated it would show a gross value without any invoice number.
I can see you are on cash accounting meaning the payment dates are used for the reporting. The payment is reported on this return with the payment date.
When the payment is allocated to the invoice it would appear on the next return with the relevant net/vat split from the invoice it is allocated to, this would then update the figures HMRC hold.
Thanks Steve
I’ve tracked down the offending entry
