Question

I filed my VAT return but there were some transactions filed as 0% vat which should have been filed as 20% vat. How do I change this?

Thanks for reaching out to us, accounts294.

 

We can locate the transactions that have been filed with a 0% VAT and then change the VAT control line and allocate the 20% VAT code. The modified transactions will be reported as an exception when you file the next VAT return. This will let HMRC know that you made changes to them.

 

We can also run the VAT Liability report to view the taxes and review the transactions associated with them. Here's how:

 

  1. Go to the Reports tab.
  2. In the search field, type VAT Liability Report.
  3. Locate the transactions you want to modify.
  4. Click the Amount and then allocate the VAT code.
  5. Click Save and close.

Please let me know how if you have any other concerns. I'm always here to help.
