VAT

SUGGESTED

Hi 

Can you advise me please

I started using Sage Jan 2023 and didn't realise that there was a Pay option on filed Vat Returns.    I instead, entered journals for both the Jan/Feb (refund) Mar/Apr (payment).    This mistake now suggests that the bank balance is less than the actual Bank Statement balance.   

Can you suggest how I might fix this problem bearing in mind that all transactions have been reconciled to date.

Best regards

Philip

  • Been using Sage Accounting for years so I would:

    reverse / delete the journals.

    go into the VAT returns & use the 'mark as paid' (or whatever it is) & put in the date it left the bank from your statement. 

    Re-reconcile yor bank account to the last date you know it was right - it won't be right now cos of those changes but you can get it back to the balance say end June or whenever you last did it. Run the 'unreconciled bank transactions' report at the date of ast reconciliation & make sure it has nothing on it.

    That should work! Bit of a faff but it's a one-off cos now you know you can match from the bank feed.
