FRS VAT Return showing incorect turnover

We are registered for VAT under the flat rate scheme and our second return is due. When checking box 6 (Net value of sales) the figure there shows a value of about 20% higher than our actual turnover which already includes VAT (we are using QB Online). This wasn't the case when we submitted our first return. After more than a hour over the chat and SmartLook, we could not find the reason and the only suggestion was to make an adjustment on the VAT amount and to submit the return with the incorrect turnover figure, which is obviously unacceptable. We have been struggling with this for a while and the return is due in a couple of days, so any advice for anyone having the same issues will be much appreciated.

FRS VAT Return showing incorect turnover

Hi vapco We'd be grateful if you can provide us with the figures that are showing in box 1 and box 6, the amount of VAT due and the FRS percentage rate that you're using. Are there any transactions showing in box 6 that have 0.0% or an Exempt code?

Hi, Box 1 shows 2,046 and box 6 shows 31,483 (which is incorrect). The FRS Percentage is 6.5%. We have some transactions in box 6 with 0% VAT and exempt .

BOX 6 for FRS VAT return should show VAT inclusive amount so it looks correct. Does P&L account show VAT inclusive or net of sales amount?

Hello Justyna2, Thanks for posting on this thread, so the net amount, VAT is a liability and doesn't come though to the P&L report.
