VAT adjustment - Unpaid creditor & Previous return

[Plee]

Hello, 

I'm new to QBO and I've submitted my first VAT return and had to make two manual adjustments. I have not filed this in QBO yet as I'm not sure how to account for the adjustments. The adjustments were: 
1. Unpaid creditor for the period (as we are preparing VAT on cash accounting basis)

2. Difference between previous period's VAT filed and VAT refund received.  

My question is do I mark these adjustments in the "Submit Return" adjust box? Or should I enter a manual journal?

The payment has been made (but not recorded yet) as it obviously won't match the current VAT due balance currently showing. 

Thanks in advance.

Hello,

Thank you for your post.

When making VAT adjustments you are better doing them from within the return as this affects the return with the balances. A Journal would not affect the return.

Hope this helps.
