Vat Periods,
I have realised (since going VAT online that my VAT periods differ from my actual periods. Can this be altered?
My exact VAT period SHOULD be: ending 31 January.
ie 01 May to 31 July,
At present I am not able to submit my returns because of this error,
Kind Regards,
Bruce Hill

Hi Bruce,

In your message you say that the exact VAT period should be 1 May to 31
July. What is the VAT period shown in Solar Accounts when you click
'Connect' in the VAT Returns section?

Hi Mark,
When I'm open the 'compile VAT return' section, the default comes up as
'Ending at August' which should be "ending at July'.
I can alter this manually but need to do this on every return so far (since
going online), so would like it to open at the correct months end by
default (I can find no way of doing this)
My problem though was confounded yesterday because I subsequently realised
that the HMRC Vat site was down so had rejected my late return from Solar!

Hi Bruce,

If you click the big 'Prepare a VAT return' button then the VAT period will
by default be 3 months to the end of the previous month.

However, if you go to the VAT Returns list and click Connect then
double-click on a VAT return period, the period that is shown should be
correct.
