VAT Roll back in error

[rosspe97]

I did a VAT return and submitted it. I then realised I had forgotten to import banking figures for October. I brought them in and matched them off.

I thought I could roll back the VAT return as there was a button saying it could be done as I had time before my deadline.

But it has reverse the submission, only unlocked the associated transactions.

Is there anyway I can relock these transaction in the system ie undo my rollback?

This should be easy to do.

I submit the returns automatically via Quickfile (is that MTD?)

Hello @rosspe97

Yes it is.

You can not re submit a filed return but you have to save a copy (and lock the transactions) as to not impact the next return.

To do this

• Remove the payments/receipts you have entered post submission
• Go into Report > Vat Returns > Settings
• Set the HMRC account to “No electronic filing” > Save
• Go into Report > Vat Returns > Create >
• Enter the period > If the figures are correct > Submit (this will save a copy of the return as a placeholder)
• Go back into Report > Vat Returns > Settings
• Set the HMRC account back to your company > Save
• Re-enter the payments/receipts you have entered post submission (these will be picked up on your next return).

Thanks Steve, that sounds more complicated than it was to press the rollback button.
So basically, for me that means going into the banking feeds and deleting those incoming transactions and I guess the matches will disappear automatically.

Yes, for bank transfers but if you created invoices from tagging the transactions the will remain and be marked as unpaid, when you re-enter the bank transactions you can tag them as paid again.
