VAT Summary showing brought forward balances

Since starting MTD I have come across and issue with my VAT summary and therefore I presume my returns
I have only ever used QB to calculate the VAT but have never 'closed down' each quarter so each quarter I just minus the brought forward balance to give me the actual period balances then entered these within the Government Gateway.
I have been able to adjust the VAT on boxes 1 and 4 (no EC  sales or purchases) to read correctly but I have tried everything to remove the brought forward balances on net sales and purchases (Boxes 6 and 7)
Anyone got any ideas ?

HI Jack

 

That is correct, we must apologise that we incorrectly assumed that you were using the online product.


That would answer all of my problems (I knew i had marked it as a Desktop question)

All now done, corrected and filed thankyou

Hi Jack

 

The VAT has to be marked as filed before you start submitting using MTD to close off the period figures so you then can begin at zero/with the figures already entered on the open return/period that HMRC are expecting. We suggest that you turn off MTD and correct the figures in accordance with those submitted to HMRC, adding the filings at HMRC together so you  obtain the figures to correct them in QuickBooks. You can hen do one large period filing from when you began recording in QuickBooks, the end date should be the last one you manually filed at HMRC. Then switch on MTD and the period should be the one that HMRC are expecting.
