Hi Andy,

I have read through that which certainly helps but it is a bit confusing I must admit.  Would the fact that we have not carried out any VAT Return whatsoever yet help make this a fairly straight forward process in our case. We only moved over to Sage 50 on 1/5/23 and our first VAT Return is now due.  We need it calculated as per Accrual Method and not by Cash Method.

Many thanks,

Rob
