Summary

This article explains how to post your VAT payment or refund.

More Information

Go to " Nominal Ledger Journal Entries".

  • At "Entry mode", choose 'Cashbook'.
  • At "Money in/out", decide first whether you are paying money over to HMRC or you have received a refund.
    • If you have paid HMRC, choose 'Out'.
    • If you have had a refund from HMRC, choose 'In'.
  • On the highlighted line, enter the Bank Account nominal code,
    Z992
    .
  • On the next line:
    • Enter 'Z999 - Vat Outstanding' to post the other side of the entry.
    • Enter the date you are making the Vat Payment.
    • Enter the value of the transaction from Box 5 on your VAT 100 report.
    • Enter a comment,
      VAT Payment QTR 2
      .
The centres on the other lines will NEVER be the same nominal centre code as at the top of the screen! If they are, you will get a circular posting that does nothing.
