Question

VAT RETURN NOTHERN IRELAND

Hi everybody

My company is based in Northern Ireland and trades with EU Countries suppliers and B2B customers.
I'm next to submit a VAT RETURN via MTD to HMRC but I noticed that Box 8 and Box 9 are Nil (£ 0.00) even if, as far as I know, they should contain the difference between Box 6 (and 7)  and the EC sales (or acquisitions). . 

If i click on the value of £ 0.00 associated to these two boxes, in the "preprare VAT return"window, I can actually get the list of the EC operations and the total of both sales and acquisition as a report which, obviously, it is not nil. Also at the bottom of each report I can read that it represents "total for Box 8 (or 9) of acquisitions (or sales) from other member states.

Same if I go to VAT100 Report, which is basically the same thing.

Why the VAT return says it is 0.00? Do I need to adjust it and how?
Thanks

Hello TBHJIOP,

Ok thanks.
I hope they are quick to fix it as this is a huge issue as if I adjust Box 8 and 9 accordingly, the adjustments sums up to the real amount in the chart of accounts and that's not the proper operations.

On the other side, VAT Return can be submitted only via MTD at this point and the deadline is near...
Keep mu updated
Thanks
