Previous vat return was submitted for 2 months February and March as company were going into cessation. Cessation has now been delayed so I have to submit a vat return for April and May to July. April being a correction. I am using Sage and wanted to know the easiest way to submit April along with May to July.
Prior to April bookkeeping was done on excel so last vat return I submitted on HMRC website. I have run April alone then May to July but cannot submit via Sage as how I would include April that I have already run. My other option was to submit via the HMRC website but I cannot see anywhere on HMRC that I can add April as an adjustment.
You cannot adjust a submitted Return online, so you must do any adjustment before submitting.
You can include April figures on the May to July Return on the HMRC site - the adjustment is included within the Return. If the net VAT for April is less than £10k, then you do not need to notify HMRC separately.
I was going to include Aprils figure in the May to July return online but after speaking to an Advisor today he mentioned resubmitting and deducting what I had already paid which really confused me. Net vat is under 2k. I mentioned this to the advisor who told me to complete a 652 form?.
No need for a VAT 652, as the adjustment is less than £10k.
Do include the April figures on the P07/17 Return; and print out this forum thread for your file.
