VAT Return Submission

Accounting
1

Hello,

I am going through the process of submitting return through quickfile.
I have selected the vat filing start date in quickfile for feb 2013 as we have purchases that go back last year that we are able to claim for. Our vat period ends June so has to be submitted by 7 Aug.
Quick file does not let me submit the vat return and says the at filing periods are incorrect.

I have spoken to HMRC and they said due to this being my first return, I have to select the period from the date of vat registration, which is 19 Feb 2014.
How do I go about submitting the return? Do I have to do this manually?
The next return will be much easier, its just we have a backlog of purchases/expenses to claim for.

Thanks
Andy

You should just be able to set the VAT return start date to 19th Feb 2014. Any transactions before that date will automatically get brought forward into the return. Just make sure the “Start Date” as per your VAT settings is set as February 2013 and the transactions will get brought forward.

Important: Make sure to download and check your calculations before submitting to HMRC.

Let us know if you have any problems.
