Recalculate a VAT Return

Summary

How to recalculate a VAT Return in Accounting Start.

Resolution

There may be times when you need to recalculate a VAT Return. For example, because you’ve added some extra transactions for that period but didn’t include them on the original return.

You can recalculate your VAT Return if:

  • You created a draft VAT Return
  • You submitted it to HMRC and the submission failed

You can't recalculate it if you’ve already submitted your return to HMRC or marked it as paid.

Instead, the next time you create a return, you’re asked if you want to include the transactions from a previous period. Select Yes, and they’re included on the return.

  1. Go to More, then select VAT Returns.
  2. Select the VAT Return you want to recalculate.
  3. Amend the dates if necessary, then select Calculate.

The VAT Return recalculates and you can then follow the steps to create and submit a VAT Return as normal.
