VAT Adjustment to bank account

Hi there,

I'm pretty new to running my own business and book keeping so apologies if this is a bit of a basic question.

 

I filed my end of Feb VAT return last week

Paid HMRC from my business bank account

I can see the amount decrease from VAT control, increase in VAT suspense and then VAT suspense is zeroed through the VAT payment

 

The problem I have is that my business bank account is showing a balance higher than is real which is equal to my VAT payment amount.  I see a generated VAT adjustment on 28th Feb which is depositing the net VAT payment amount into my bank account.  I'm not sure why this is happening and the system won't allow me to delete it. 

 

Any help gratefully received.

VAT Adjustment to bank account

Thanks for providing us with a detailed information, SDRhodes.

 

It could be the VAT adjustment is recorded incorrectly. And that caused the bank balance discrepancy.

 

I suggest conferring with your tax adviser or accountant to offset the adjustment. This way, the balances on your accounts will be rectified. 

 

If you have any other concerns, please let us know. We'd be happy to help you out.
