Use these checks to find and resolve differences between your VAT return and your VAT nominal account.
Check for any journal (JNL) transactions in the VAT control account — these are not included on the VAT return.
Check for transactions with a VAT code of 0 but a VAT value. These are not included on the return.
Use the detailed VAT return report and compare it to individual transactions.
The VAT return figures are not updated until you run and update the return. Run a return for a single period and compare it to the same period in your nominal account.
If you use multiple VAT accounts, include all of them when comparing your figures.
Comparing the transactions on the return against those in your nominal account helps identify the source of the difference. You can correct discrepancies by reversing and re-entering the relevant transactions, or by using the corrections module. If a difference remains after this comparison, contact our support team. See Get support in Dimensions.
