I need to carry out some adjustments on Sage where the company is set up for VAT cash accounting, this involves some adjustments to VAT which need to ulimately be reflected in boxes 1 & 4 on the VAT return. Unfortunately if I try to do the adjustments by way of a journal( using the relevant vat T code) then the relevant VAT amount is not picked up by the system to be included boxes 1 & 4 on the return. As far as I can see the only way sage picks up VAT amounts to be shown on the return is when payments are received or paid via the bank account. Does anyone know of any other way of entering transactions onto Sage so the VAT is picked up for the return (aside from carrying out a manual adjustment to the VAT return itself)?
Other than making the manual adjustments to the VAT return itself I don't think there is any other way. Other than posting actual receipts or payments. If you calculate the VAT return and then click on the Adjustments button you can make adjustments in boxes 1, 2 and 4 and 6-9.
