VAT Return - earlier unreconciled transactions

SUGGESTED

When i ran my VAT period a message has flagged up with 4 transactions that are unreconciled and before 1/3/19

Do you want to include these earlier unreconciled transactions?

We are cash accounting, basically there are 4 payments that were made In Feb that we didn't receive the actual invoice for until March (they were pre-paid hotel bookings).  VAT period i will be reconciling is 1 March - 31 May 2019.

Do include these in my return and proceed as normal?

Many thanks, Lindsay

    Hi Lindsay,

    Thanks for using Sage City.

    If these transactions are genuine late entries and are eligible for inclusion in a VAT Return but were posted into a previous VAT period after it was reconciled, these are fine to include in your current VAT Return.

    You can find full info on how to deal with unreconciled transactions dated before your current VAT period here.

    Thanks Paul

    The transactions are genuine late entries and eligible for inclusion.

    We also have a pending status on our last VAT return i have called HMRC and they have confirmed receipt of return and payment.  They advised i contact Sage on how to change this status from 'pending' to submitted.  How can i do this?

    Many thanks, Lindsay

    That’s great Lindsay.

    To change the status of a Pending VAT return to Submitted, double-click on the VAT return to open it and you can then select the Mark as submitted check box, then choose Close.
