Hi all

I am claiming the VAT quaterly refund. Usually what I learned is in Sage, just need to click VAT screen and done.This is not the case here at my place.

Because of previously messed by someone who already left, my purchase total is bigger than sales total. Due to the nature of the business our sales VAT is (0) and she used T9 a lot than T0 for sales invoices.

So I tried to do differences between day book purchase invoices detail and day book sales invoices detail.

After I submitted, I realised I missed out some purchases paid by company credit card are still sitting in VAT purchase a/c Nomonal Code 2201.

Basically I have underclaimed the VAT for this quarter. Can I claim back in next quarter for the remaining amount. It is about £900 only. But still money is money.

Could anyone advise me please?


Thanks in advance.

Two pieces of advice:

1) Get an accountant or qualified bookkeeper.

2) If you process the transactions (or make corrections to the tax code of previous transactions) through sage, and use sage for your VAT returns, it should automatically include the corrections in your next VAT return even if the transactions were in an earlier period.

You are right

Actually it turns out I'm not completely right.

Sage tells you it makes the adjustments to the VAT return but doesn't tell you it does not add in things like bad-debt write offs! - these need to be added in manually!

I am glad I noticed but rather worried about what else it might not bother including in it's calculations!
