This current situation with UK VAT is as follows: VAT invoices (sent and received) can be entered with a VAT Activity on. The VAT must be calculated by hand. The invoice printed will be acceptible. VAT sent to, and received from, HMRC can be entered under separate activities. Provided all VAT invoices are entered, the VAT boxes on the VAT return can be produced by reporting the VAT activities between specified dates covering the VAT period on the Creditors and Debtors accounts. The total Sales/Purchase on the VAT return have to be calculated by calling up all the transactions for the period, sorting into Activity order and then excluding the VAT Activities. This is limited and the following improvements need to be made: 1. Store VAT on transactions as a separate field eliminating the need for a separate acrtivity and providing line-by-line VAT 2. Store the VAT rates to allow the VAT to be calculated automatically 3. Changing the invoice to show line-by-line VAT and total 4. Producing a special report for VAT to provide the numbers for the VAT return 5. Updating the transactions when printed for VAT so that a) the transaction can't be altered without a warning that the VAT has changed and b) so that items before the period can be picked up if entered late. These changes are quite extensive and will be made as time allows. |
