Incorrect VAT last quarter
Permalink  

Hi everyone,
I am new to this forum and I am already finding it very useful.

I started up my own bookkeeping business a few months ago and it is going really well.  My question is I did a clients VAT return the last quarter (submitted it Jan 08 and I have just realised that their was an error on it of £900 underpaid.  Now I know that you can have adjustments up to £2000 on the quarter without the need for a different form, but do you just add the adjustment in box 5 because box 1 & 3 won't read right or do I just put a covering letter with it to say.

Any help would be greatly appreciated as need to give him back his VAT form asap so he can pay online.

Must say hopefully won't have this problem again as he will be on a Quickbooks the next quarter.

Many thanks
Amanda

Hi Amanda,

You are right, you just include the error on the next VAT return..no need to inform anyone. VAT Booklet 700/45 paragraph 2.1 on the HMRC website will give you the precise answer.

Regards

Rob
