Posting Missing Invoices From a Previous VAT Period

Hello and thank you for your help, yes that was exactly what I was missing, I was not aware of the procedure for closing the VAT period by marking the return as submitted but I have now completed this.

Am I correct in my understanding that any transactions which end up on the exceptions report must be manually entered by using the adjustment function on the VAT 100 report? It looks like these do not automatically get included in the VAT 100 report figures.

Thanks again.

Hello,

Any transactions included in the exceptions report will have been included in the overall figure for VAT due. You do not need to re-enter these - they don't show on the VAT 100 report.

Thanks,

Talia

How can I run a VAT report to show all transactions - including the missing invoices entered now but relating to to a previous period?

I found this report actually but it doesn`t show any items at all. We are new to Quickbooks. And I know entered some September invoices recently. Our next return due is for the month of October. Do I need to manually adjust the return with these transactions?

Hello, A K1. Thanks for joining in this thread.

I'm here to help ensure you the invoices are added correctly for accurate VAT returns filing and run a VAT report to show all transactions in QuickBooks Online.

First, if you have previous submissions, you can go into the invoices that were included on the previous VAT return and make amendments to the invoice by selecting VAT, and this will cause exceptions. For more details on how this works, please see this article: VAT exceptions and reports in QuickBooks Online.

However, we highly recommend talking to an accountant to ensure everything is tracked accurately and avoid messing up your records.

Then, let's run the VAT Detail Report in the program. This report lists all transactions that are included in each box on the VAT return. Here's how:

1. Go to Reports.
2. In the search box, enter VAT Detail Report and then select it.
3. Select the report period and desired date range.
4. Click Run report.

However, if you've backdated any transactions or made any changes to a transaction you have already filed (known as Exceptions), these will not be included on this screen. You can run the VAT Exception Report instead.

Please feel free to ask if you have any further questions about VAT returns. I am here to assist you and will ensure this conversation remains open for your replies at any time. Take care.

My VAT Exception report has no data. However, I entered a couple of invoices dated earlier than the current vat period. 

Is this happening because this is my very first VAT filing from Quickbooks Online? Is there a way to retrieve these numbers so I can manually adjust the first VAT return from QO?

Let's make sure this is sorted out so it shows the VAT Exception report correctly, A K1.

When you make modifications to transactions that have already been filed in a VAT return using QuickBooks Online, this is the time you create exceptions. It helps to ensure that no VAT is overlooked or duplicated when reporting to His Majesty's Revenue and Customs (HMRC).

Please note that QuickBooks generates exceptions when you perform the following:

• Change the VAT code in the transaction.
• Add, remove, or modify the transaction amount.
• Add or remove an income/expense account line from the transaction.
• Add or remove a customer or supplier from the transaction.

If so, let's check the date of the first VAT filing in QuickBooks. Then, perform the steps below:

1. Run the VAT Exception Report.
2. Check the exception dates on the return. If the exceptions on the transaction are:
   • Dated on or after the first VAT filing, these are classed as 'genuine exceptions' and will not be removed.
   • Dated before the first VAT filing, contact support to have the exception removed.
   • If there is no date on the transaction, this would suggest the transaction has been deleted. Select the transaction to find out when it was created.

However, if the report remains empty, I recommend contacting our Live QuickBooks Support Team. This will allow us to securely access your account information and get all the details we need to ensure the issue is investigated and fixed promptly.
