That would be a pretty long list of items :).

Maybe if you could be more specific we could help.

Are you doing a VAT return for the first time or do you have a previous bookkeepers VAT workings from previous years. You could look at the previous workings for some guidance if they are available (and if they are correct).

Hi Zoe

A bit of dull reading but this link takes you to HMRC web page listing common items and there VAT rates.

http://www.hmrc.gov.uk/vat/forms-rates/rates/goods-services.htm#1

As a rule of thumb, it it is not listed in the special rates then it will probably be standard rate VAT

Hi all, I have a question with regards to VAT, I am primarily payroll and HR although have since taken over the books. The Ltd company I work for uses sage 50 accounts plus and I am now ready to generate the vat return for this quarter, I am a wee bitty stuck however, I have ran an audit trail focusing on the VAT just to ensure that everything I have input is correct and there appears to be numberour comments such as:

High VAT Purchases (VAT over user-entered amount)

Non-Standard Rated Purchases (VAT over user-entered amount)

Sales with VAT rate less than 16% abd Credits with VAT rate more than 19%

I am completed thrown with these comments and inspecting each account that relates to these comments I can see no error and all use 20% could anyone please shed some light on this, and perhaps explain what these mean, I feel a little out of my depth however "thrown in at the deep end" is this companies policy, so I am on my own.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks

Lauren
