Vat return wrong

[Peterf1958]

Hi I have done my VAT return ( I use cash accounting)but have not submitted it yet and I noticed an error, I had inputted a purchase invoice as unpaid, but I had paid it and now when i have amended it, the return stays as before . I know that I can use the little pencil icon but is there another way please?

Hello @Peterf1958

When you are on cash accounting it uses the payment dates to allocate the invoices to the correct return.

With this in mind, does the payment date you added fall within the return period?

For example

Return period Sep-Nov
Invoice date 31/10/2022
Payment Date 12/12/2022

The invoice will not show on the return as it was paid outside the return period.

If this is the case and the payment date is incorrect, find the payment in the bank window and edit the date.

Thanks again
