Hi again, you might remember me from last week, this is the same client I was asking about then. Some of the VAT items were posting to the control account which you resolved for me, but this has left a rather messy VAT return for the last period. The VAT item "Zero-rated purchases" was going to the control account and is now posting correctly to the liability account. So now box 7 has several years worth of zero rated purchases which have not previously been filed due to the VAT item going to the control account..... This clients accountant is talking to HMRC ref overclaimed VAT as there was a similar issue with the EGS code which had not been posting to Box 2. I was planning on adjusting box 2 and opening a separate liability account for overclaimed VAT, but cant see a way of tidying up box 7.
