In the VAT window where it usually indicates Paid amount as 'Y' or 'N' after making the above postings as suggested the return is still showing as 'N' which shows it has not been paid - how can this be changed
Ah, okay - in the latest version(s?), you can enter the payment (and I assume receipt) from the manage VAT window. Right click on the relevant return, and select VAT Tasks from the menu. In the dialogue that pops up, the second or third section down is for entering the payment.
However, if you've already entered the payment by another method, AFAIK you're stuck with it saying N - which will be the case for returns done on Sage before the facility was added anyway. It isn't something to worry about.
Afterthought: One way to get rid of the 'N's would be to hide the column itself from view: Right click on the headings, and deselect the column from the menu.

In that case, I don't know. I don't even remember seeing the paid column when I was using it! As I suggested above, even if there is a way in Sage 50 2011 to enter the payment/receipt via the VAT screen, it's not going to change historical returns from showing as N to showing as Y - so if it really bothers you, you're probably better off hiding the column IMO.
