You can use the Adjustments option to make these amendments. There's just a couple of things to check first.

Before you make adjustments

Check the Manual Adjustment control account

1. On the menu bar, click Settings then click Control Accounts.
2. For Manual Adjustments, enter the nominal code you want to use, by default this is 2204.
3. Click OK.

Calculate your VAT Return

You must first calculate and check your VAT figures for the period.

Make a VAT Return adjustment

 TIP: VAT Adjustments automatically post using the program date. To post an adjustment with a different date, you must first change the software date within Settings, then click Change Program Date. In v30.1 and above the adjustment uses the last date of the VAT Return period.

1. While in your live VAT return for the period, in the Reconcile VAT Return window, click Make adjustments.
2. In the box of the VAT Return you need to adjust, click the pencil   in the Adjustment column.
3. In the Reason column, enter the reason for the adjustment..
4. Tab to the Adjustment column, enter the value to adjust the box by, then click Save.
   
   

   TIP: To reduce the box value, prefix the figure with the minus sign '-'.

5. If further boxes require adjustment, repeat steps 2 - 4.
6. You can use the Add attachments option to attach any supporting documentation.

The adjustments apply when you reconcile the VAT Return. If you close the VAT Return without reconciling, the adjustments don't save and must be posted again when the VAT Return is reconciled.

NOTE: When using adjustments, we recommend you use the VAT Transfer Wizard to transfer the VAT from the Sales and Purchase Tax Control Account nominal codes to the VAT Liability nominal code. If you need to post these manually, you must use the calculated figures and NOT the figures after the adjustments are posted. This is because the adjustment journal has already been posted to VAT Liability.

Print your adjustment reports

1. On the navigation bar click VAT, then click the required archived return.
2. Click VAT Return then click Print.
3. To print a report that only shows adjustments, clear the VAT return check box and select the Adjustments check box.
4. Click the required output type, then click Run.
