Record VAT payments
Description

When you submit a VAT Return, the values transfer to the VAT Liability ledger. This shows how much you owe or can reclaim from HMRC. Once fully paid, the VAT liability balance is zero. View the transaction in your bank activity under Banking.

Cause
Resolution
  1. From Reports, select VAT returns.
  2. Select View on the VAT Return you want to pay.
  3. Select Pay, then enter the amount, date, and the bank account you paid from.
  4. Select Save.

Once you select Save, you create a VAT Payment transaction type and the VAT Return shows as Paid. If you don't pay the full amount, it shows as Part-paid.

Got a bank feed connected?

If your bank is connected to a bank feed, it's likely that your VAT payment will show in your incoming transactions.

We recommend that you follow the steps above, and then match the incoming bank transaction to the VAT payment.
