VAT Excess Amount - How to record in Quickbooks Online

Hello Team,

Good Day. 

 

I have a question, VAT has implemented in 2018 in Saudi Arabia but we have invoiced to a customer in Dec-2017.

On the other side we have received the VAT amount since the services has occured in 2018-2019.

 

When I record the transaction its showing excess amount which completely VAT on the previous invoice. Example below for your reference. 

 Invoice 2017        10,000
 Received amount in 2019        10,500
 Excess VAT Amount            (500)

 

How do you want me to record this transaction in the Quickbooks online.

Kindly help me.

Hi Aleem

 

To clarify, you have created the invoice in 2017, for 10,000 and then received 10,500 from the customer in 2019?

Hello there, Aleem Shaik.

 

The vat calculation depends on what accounting method you've set up. We can go to the Account and Settings to check if the method was correctly set. You can follow the steps below:
 

  1. Go to the Gear icon.
  2. Select Account and Settings under Your Company.
  3. Select Advanced from the  left side.
  4. In the Accounting section, click Edit (pencil icon).
  5. Click the drop-down arrow and choose the correct method.
  6. Hit Save. Then, Done.

Dear Sara,

 

Thanks for your response, but this won't work for me. Its cash basis accounting. I have received the excess VAT amount, where I can adjust the invoice but I don't want to. Is there any entry which will adjust this amount in the system and shows in VAT payables.

 

Kindly provide your feedback.

Hi Aleem

 

You will have to receive the 10,000 on the invoice, with No VAT, and then create a separate 100% vat invoice relating to the 500. Create the invoice, entering the customers name and the date of the payment, on line 1 enter a sales in the product/service column, enter 0.01 in the amount column and enter 20%S in the VAT column (ensure the amounts are box is set to Exclusive of VAT). On line two enter sales as on line one, in the amount column enter -0.01 and in the VAT column enter Exempt code then you can enter the 500 amount in the VAT box, save, receive payment ensure the date of the payment is the date you received the amount.

Hi Aleem

 

What is the date of the invoice you created and what is the date of the VAT period? Have you selected receive payment on the invoice and entered the date it was paid, this date should correspond with your VAT period you are expecting it to be shown in?
