filing invoices at year end?
Permalink  

Hi,  can you help?  I know this is a rather silly question, but in previous years, I noticed that my accountant had missed it - as had I mis-filed?  We have just had our year end on the 30th April... Ihave invoices dated pre 30/04/2013  - but paid after our year end on the 03/05/2013  - where should I file them?  in the previous years files or the new year files ?  can someone help?

Tarah

Hi Tarah,

welcome to the forum

Revenue should be recognised in the period to which it relates, not when it is receieved or paid (IAS18 (IFRS) or FRS5 application note G (UKGAAP)).

kind regards,

Shaun.

Hi Tarah

Are you using a software package or an excel spreadsheet? Are you VAT registered? If so, are you accounting for VAT based on the invoice date, or the cash paid date?

I can give you a specific answer related to your situation if you let me know.

I would file them in the period you processed them in.

Sounds like they should be in the 2012/13 but not processed until 2013/14.  Therefore should be filed in 2013/14 period.

Depending on the materiality then they may need to be recognised as creditors at the 2012/13 year end.

Regards

Mark
