Hello BakeryAccts, Thanks for your query about the VAT return. If HMRC have instructed you to change the first return to be a nil return, if you unfiled and then amended the transactions to NO VAT this would mean they would not show in the return so if they were the only transactions, you would have a nil return you could mark as filed. If the expenses, you are then correcting in the 2nd period return are from the 1st period then as nothing was in the first return it would then populate the required boxes for the codes used in the second.
Having said that we don't have access to the data you are adding to the return here, so we're just basing this answer off your thread, but yes in a nutshell that sounds correct. Any difficulties just let us know. Thanks
