Hi,

I have a problem with my copy of Solar Accounts 3 ver 3.9.8a where it recognises a particular 0% VAT entry as a 5% sale. When you come to view the VAT Return Detail, this shows up in VAT on Sales, I've checked all the usual areas but cannot find anything untoward. Is this a known glitch in this copy of SA or is there a way to fix it?

Hi Philip,

We're not aware of such a glitch. It would help for us to access your data
- please click menu File > Backup, then save the backup file and email
it to us along with the transaction ID in question.

Thanks,

Hi Mark,

The transaction number is PAY680. Like I said the VAT is set to 0% however it shows up in VAT report as a 5% sale

Thanks for your time.

Kind regards,

Phil

Hi Phil,

OK looking at that transaction it appears that Solar Accounts is applying
the 'reverse charge' procedure when it calculates the VAT return figures.
This procedure requires that 20% of the purchase be shown in Box 1 and Box
4 - these cancel each other out so there is no change to the Box 5 figure.
See the section titled 'Services received from overseas suppliers' on the
following page for details:

Hi Mark,

Thanks so much for this, it’s much appreciated.
