Presentation
The 2 grids in this block are populated if there are VAT adjustments that need to be included when the related VAT return is posted. Otherwise, they can be empty.
If they are empty for a VAT form where VAT adjustments have been entered on a related VAT return, these adjustments are not included in the calculation to post the net VAT amount for the tax to disburse amount or tax credit amount. In that case, only the net VAT amount is calculated on the amounts in the detail VAT boxes.
When you enter VAT boxes in these grids for VAT form where VAT adjustments have been made on a related VAT return, these adjustments are included in the calculation to post the net VAT amount.
The sum of the submitted values for these boxes is calculated and represents the net VAT amount, adjustment included. It is then compared to the sum of the VAT amounts extracted on detail VAT boxes and the difference is posted to a VAT adjustment balance account.
Note: The adjustments are not posted in detail, but for the net balance amount.
You can link a print code to one or more reports. This is useful if your legislation requires multiple VAT return reports.
The reports are available in the VAT returns function from the Print icon, List option.
