Hi,
Please can you explain how I can change from cash to Accrual
Basis.

Before i go any further.
Many Thanks

Hi David

Regarding your question about changing cash to accrual, are you talking
about the VAT return submissions? That is, you previously calculated your
VAT return figures using the cash method, and now you want switch to using
the normal (accrual) method - is that correct?

Also, are you currently using Solar Accounts Online to submit your
cash-method VAT returns?

Hi Mark,

No, I am inquiring about a contractor who I put in contact with to use your system:

RXXXXXXXXXXX
RXXX XXXXy

His VAT is on a cash basis, and he wants to change to accrual, same as me. Can you help?

Hi David,

Regarding changing the basis on your client's VAT return, he needs to click
menu Setup > Contact Details & VAT > VAT Is Calculated: When Invoices are
Issued.

If he has have already submitted VAT returns using the cash basis, he will
then need to do the following in Solar Accounts:

1. View the VAT Period Detail for last VAT return and compare it to the
   actual VAT return figures you submitted to HMRC. Note the difference for
   each box value by taking the VAT Period Detail box value and subtracting
   the actual VAT return box value

2. Repeat for the previous VAT return and continue until the VAT Period
   Detail matches the VAT return submitted to HMRC

3. When he submits his next VAT return, he should click 'New Adjustment' at
   the top of the window before he clicks 'Submit', and for each Box 1-9 apply
   an adjustment that is the total of the differences he calculated in the
   previous steps
