Recovering VAT on bad debt write offs.

SOLVED

Hi,

I'm aware of this advice https://gb-kb.sage.com/portal/app/portlets/results/viewsolution.jsp?solutionid=200427112208206

But, when I do it, it is not affecting box 4 or 5 of my vat return.

Is there a hidden box that needs ticking somewhere?  I've spent the afternoon struggling with this and am losing my will to live!

Thank you!!

I'm very happy that the vat I'm reclaiming fits the hmrc rules, annoyingly part of it is over the four and a half years, so it's too late for that bit, but the rest is certainly recoverable.
