VAT Returns - pulling all data

Accounting

Hi

Is there a problem with VAT returns? No matter what date range I put in it shows all the purchases and sales from the start?

I have submitted multiple VAT returns in the past but not via QuickFile - I just entered these manually. Please can you make it so it only pulls the data from the date range?

Thanks

Ryan

You need to tell Quickfile you have submitted these returns outside of Quickfile. A search of the forums will find other threads on the subject.

To quote another thread:

You just need to set that start date to equal the 1st day of the return period you’re submitting in QuickFile. You only need to do this for your first return.

By default QF looks for any unreconciled VAT invoices when you file a return. Obviously with your 1st return everything preceding it is unreconciled. We show a red warning message on your first return to warn you about this and the start date acts as a wall to prevent anything before getting picked up.

Hi Glenn

Thanks for the response.

I have tried just setting the date to the date at the start of the return as I have previously done a few times but it still shows all the transactions since I started using QuickFile. Do you think this could be a bug?

Many thanks & much appreciated

Hi @ryansb, I can see that your Vat Filing Start Date is set to 2014. If you make changes accordingly that should bring your VAT returns back in order.

Thanks Peter!!

Is there anywhere that I can submit my previous returns which I did through the HMRC website so QuickFile knows that I have submitted previous returns?

Many thanks

No problem @ryansb.

You can submit your previous VAT returns to QuickFile just set the Vat Filing Start Date back.

When submitting to QuickFile those VAT returns you had already filed with HMRC unselect the Enable online filing box in VAT Settings:

Once you’re “up to date” with your VAT returns you can activate this option back.

You can submit your previous returns through QF, but you’ll have a hard time getting things to match without adjusting every box.

It’s easier to just journal in any unpaid VAT liability (if applicable) on the date you switched to QF.
