Correcting VAT Return Mistake in Solar Accounts

Hi
After submitting my last VAT return, I discovered that I had made an error. How can I correct the underpayment in this quarters return using Solar Accounts?

Thanks
Colin

Hi Colin,

If you previously used Solar Accounts Online to submit your VAT return
directly to HMRC then you can simply make a correction to the transaction
dated in the previous VAT period. When you submit your current VAT return
ensure that you select the checkbox labelled 'Include changes to previous
VAT returns submitted by Solar Accounts'.

If you are not using Solar Accounts Online or you submitted the incorrect
VAT return using the HMRC website or other software then you will need to
make a note of the VAT amount and transaction total before and after making
the correction, then manually apply the adjustment to your Box 1 to Box 9
figures when you fill out your next VAT return.
