Nominal VATable Payments reversed should be shown a negative purchases in the VAT Return

If you manually reverse a nominal VATable payment, the VAT element shows in Box 1 outputs.  This causes reconciliation issues as Nominal VAT Control accounts disagree with the VAT Return

  • Users are having to spend quite a bit of time each quarter find differences and entering manual adjustments to the return - this is not very efficient

  • If one is entered in error you can not enter another negative one to correct it! This means that you are forced enter a receipt if you are correcting a payment and a payment if you are correcting a receipt. This put the VAT report out so to solve this you need to complete a VAT journal too.

    I am shocked that SAGE does not allow a correction entry (i.e. a negative payment or receipt) and further shocked that the VAT return is not correct. We previously used fms and this was never an issue!!

    As a large Trust we will need to spend much more time on our VAT returns than we did with capita fms and I though SAGE was going to streamline our processes!

    please advise when this is likely to be resolved within SAGE

  • We started using SAGE in September2020 for a centralised finance system for 3 secondary and 3 primary schools. A lot of transactions! Having looked at our first VAT return we note there is a problem with the nominal vateable receipts and the nominal vateable payments.

  • We used to be able to manually correct this issue but with MTD we cannot!
