VAT return older transactions

SUGGESTED

Have just started using sage from 1st April (accounting year start date) but trying to run VAT return from 1st may. How do I show which purchase invoices in April have already been in the previous VAT return and some I need to put in this one?

    Hi Michelle,

    Unfortunately you would not be able to specify which transactions to include and not include. The system will look to reconcile all transactions that have not been VAT reconciled. 

    There should be a message appearing when you are running the VAT Return to say that there are transactions from a previous period that haven't been reconciled. You can only either include or exclude all them. 

    The only alternative would be to exclude all and manually adjust the VAT Return figures once it has been ran. I would advise checking with your Accountant on the best course of action regarding this.

    Thank you,
