Posting VAT on Flat Rate Scheme - Help?!
Permalink  

Hi.
I have just taken on a client that is on the VAT Flat Rate Scheme at 9.5%.
I am getting myself in a right muddle trying to think through how to post his sales invoices (which will have VAT added at 15%) correctly into Sage, so that I can produce correct figures for his VAT Return each quarter, and show the correct values in his Sales lines on the P&L, and the VAT codes in the Balance Sheet.
Can anyone give any guidance to this?
Many thanks.

Hello Liz.

You will have to post your sales invoices as normal ie net 15,000 Vat 2250 gross 17250
as you know you wil recieve 17250 from your DEBTOR. When you are going to prepare
the VAT RETURN will have to do a Journal Entry to adjust for the VAT REDUCTION

JOURNAL                                DEBIT                                 CREDIT

SALES                                                                                611.25                                                
VAT                                         611.25

what the above in effect will do is reduce vat from 2250 to 1638.75 which is 17250 * 9.5%
THIS IS THE WAY THE HMRC WEBSITE SHOWS RELATING TO FLAT RATE SCHEME TO TAKE
9.5% OF THE GROSS FIGURE so the above adjustment will Increase SALES TO 15611.25
reduce vat to 1638.75 hope this helps.
