Question

Vat adjustment deleted in error

First MTD VAT return submitted with a VAT adjustment to box 4 for pre-registration input VAT reclaimable.  Submission is correct and accepted by HMRC however, the code selected for the VAT adjustment was incorrect (bank account). The VAT adjustment transaction was then deleted which shouldn’t have been done in hindsight. This therefore now shows in the next VAT return exception report, increasing the liability and cancelling out the reclaim for pre-registration input VAT.  How do we fix this so that the next return is correct and the VAT control account balance is correct?

Hi, Nala83.

Allow to help and provide some information regarding VAT adjustment and reclaimable via QuickBooks Online Accountant.

 

You may want to make sure that you're using the correct VAT control account and you have reviewed all your VAT return before filing it through MTD. Once the return is submitted and accepted by HMRC, the option to correct it is currently unavailable.
