Hi Nicola,

Thanks for using Community Hub.

For reconciliation of the VAT Return in Ireland, this is my go to article. I hope it helps: Reconcile the VAT Return >

I'll leave the thread open in case anyone has any other tips.

Thanks Andy.

I will have a read of those now.

Just to clarify I don't have any adjustments or verifying issues and we always return what the VAT return states.

So is there any easy way of checking where the Ts are being posted in the Nominal codes - there is a difference somewhere I can't find?

My T38 - EU purchases aren't visible in a nominal code - but this should be ok as they cancel out in sales and purchases? 

Can you direct me anywhere else to check please - is there a way of running a VAT code for T38 for a set time (just in case it did happen to be my difference)

Hi Nicola, if you just want to check the T38 transactions, the quickest way would be to add a filter to your Transactions list. To do this, open the Transactions window, click Filter and complete the filter to say "Where Tax Code is T38" if required you can add more lines to the filter to add a date range as well. 



There's a bit more about filtering here: How do I filter my lists >

Thanks Andy - is this in VAT or in reports - can you direct me in SAGE please?

It's the transaction list, just click Transactions from the left hand menu. It lists all of your transactions. Then click Filter, and add that filter in.

Thanks Andy nothing showing when I run it - I have checked no filter on anything!

sorry!!

Thanks for coming back Nicola, I'd suggest getting in touch with Sage Technical Support so they can look at this further for you. Sage Technical Support >

Hiya

Many thanks for replies. However I still have a problem and slowly going mad!  I have rung SAGE and fixed the report issue and have done all that however don't think EC is my problem.

There is some VAT code in my VAT return that is not going to VAT codes in Nominal Ledger but despite test posts etc I cannot find it.  I have asked SAGE to help me see that all mapping is done correctly from VAT code to sage ie to account 2200/2201/2202 or whatever but they said they can't do that.  So I remain with a difference I cannot explain.

Is there anywhere any one in SAGE can find out that for me - as I said every month my difference moves? If I could confirm where each VAT code was being mapped to in NC I believe I would find my difference.

Thank you!

Have you checked that all your tax codes are set to feed through to the VAT return?  Settings, configuration, Tax codes, should be set to "in use" = Y.  

The tax codes themselves don't determine which nominal code the VAT element goes to.  That is determined by transaction type and you can see those listed on the VAT summary report.

Yes Anita I did this - so I am at a loss as why my nominals are different - any other ideas?  Many thanks for reply.
