Error in VAT return
Permalink Closed

Newbie here with very basic knowledge of bookkeeping.

I have noticed that in my December VAT return I had a accidentally applied the wrong rate of VAT to a purchase using Xero software. The item was Zero Rated but I applied EC Zero Rated so the value of the goods shows in Box 9 on the VAT return but should have been included in Box 7. Do I need to do anything to rectify this?

 To be honest if anyone was to notice which I doubt, I don't think they would actually care so I would just leave as it is

Read up on VAT and how to correct.  


Such an error might prompt an investigation at some point in the future, if quantum is correct, depending on nature of the business
