You can view the results of these checks and then make amendments if required.

Forgot to reconcile the previous VAT Return

If you didn't reconcile the transactions on your previous VAT Return, a message appears informing you that there are transactions to reconcile predating the period. This just means you need to do a few extra checks to ensure the right transactions appear on your next VAT Return.
