Hi Sam,

Thanks for using Sage City.

If your year end journals are showing on the VAT Return, it could be one of two reasons.

1. The journals are not on a T9 tax code.

2. Your non-vatable tax code isn't T9 - (This can be checked and changed via Settings > Company Preferences > VAT)

Not sure where you got the Sam from but how ever. Journals are  T9 tax code my question is is it normal for my April year end Journal totals to appear as unreconciled on the May vat return and do you just ignore them or do you include them when you are running a Vat return if I include them they come up just on the 6 and 7 totals. 

Hi, sorry about that, I had just been responding to someone called Sam, so apologies for that mix-up.

You do not wanted Year End journals showing on a VAT Return, and they especially should not be appearing in a VAT return if they are assigned with a non-vatable tax code.

If your April year end journals say T9 then they should not be showing up at all when doing a VAT return. If they are showing despite being T9, you must check to see what your non-vatable tax code is set to in your settings, as it may be set to another tax code:

Go to Settings > Company Preferences > VAT, then see what your non-vatable tax code is. If it is not T9 it needs to be changed to that. If it does say T9 then I would then advise checking your data for errors/warnings at that point.

Thanks for coming back to me so quickly my Non vatable code is set as T9 and I have no errors or warnings coming up when I do a check on the Chart of accounts .Some of the Nominal codes that are showing are

in the range  Purchases 0031 - 40, 5000

Sales 4000- 4009

Any other ideas

Elaine

Hi Elaine,

Thanks for letting me know about the settings. If T9 is your non-vatable tax code then the next thing that needs to be done is check the data, rather than just the chart of accounts.

To check your data go to File > Maintenance > check data

(Instructions about checking data you can follow here - https://ask.sage.co.uk/scripts/ask.cfg/php.exe/enduser/std_adp.php?p_faqid=11589&p_pv=0)

At this point though I would heavily advise calling in so one of our Sage 50 Accounts technicians can troubleshoot this further, especially if there is data corruption - https://my.sage.co.uk/public/help.aspx#/contact?type=customer&locale=uk&product=accounts

I hope I have been of some help.

Thanks for coming back all that is fibe as well and I have got the chart of accounts checked and there dosnt seem to be an issue there either

Hi Elaine,

This does sound unusual, so in that case I would still recommend to call into our technical support as they have the facilities to troubleshoot this further and see why they are appearing on the VAT return.

Oliver 

I will do that thank you for your hep

Take care and stay safe

Elaine

Not a problem Elaine, and you too!
