I need to do an adjustment to the figures and not sure how to key the entry in Sage.
Background - have a cash accounting client. (Before my time -) some sales discounts keyed instead of credit notes. When these discounts keyed mostly the VAT has been paid on the original invoice amount (as discounting was never mentioned on the invoices), instead of the actual amount received. In fact the only time the VAT is correct on the items discounted is when the funds have been applied as a payment on account.
So I have £14k+ in sales discount nominal - thought I might leave it (but appreciate advice)
I have to reduce the VAT payable this quarter by about £1.5k - can someone please help me. What is the best way - journal entries and what specifically - cos I know Im being thick!!! Especially with it being cash accounting (aaaggghhhh). I dont think I can key anything to the VAT control accounts (unless Ive lost the plot more than I realise).
I dont even know if Im making sense to anyone but myself!

Hi
I didnt sort it. Now Im being doubly thick (sorry) - email you what?
Im not even sure at the moment what double entry, entries to make to fix it! Thats partly where Im stuck (and then if Sage lets me do it is the second issue(!!). Think my brain has stopped working in the last 3months and is so much on overload that I cant stop to think about it for long enough without my head hurting.
