Vat Return box 1 & 7

SUGGESTED

Hi,

I processed a bank receipt using n/c 5000 T1, and when I ran the vat return the vat amount is in box 1 and the amount before the vat is in box 7 .  I agree with box 7 but would have thought the vat element would appear in box 3 as a credit.  I realise it doesn't make a difference to box 5 but was checking to see if this is correct.

Thanks in advance.

    Box 3 is a sum of Box 1 and 2.

    If you post a bank receipt on T1 for say 100 net and 20 vat then:

    Box 1 = 20.00

    Box 3 = 20.00

    Box 5 = 20.00

    Box 6 = 100.00

    See the screenshot below:

    Box 7 wouldn't have a value for a bank receipt.

    If you post a bank payment on T1 for say 100 net and 20 vat then:

    Box 4 = 20.00

    Box 5 = -20.00

    Box 7 = 100.00

    See the screenshot below:

    As a bank payment doesn't go into box 1 or 2, it doesn't calculate as part of box 3.

    You are totally correct as this is what has happened to the bank receipt. The vat element in box 1 and the net in box 6

    The reason I queried it was: As it was a receipt for a purchase I just expected the vat element to appear as a credit in box 4 (I said box 3 in my original message sorry).

    Thank you for that!
