VAT Return Process

VAT return drops the SI as the first day of the following month. This keeps the submitted return balance on the VAT Control Acc for the month / period end, which is perhaps the reason for this as will sit away from the Debtor Control balance at period ends (which has always been a bug-bear for accountants). However the balance still sits in Debtor control. Could this not be an opportunity to get a system generated transaction that drops the balance on the Ext TB and Balance Sheet somewhere more sensible? This item could be considered in conjunction with Opening VAT Balance – two system generated nominal codes for Opening VAT Balance and VAT Return Balance. Maybe we are too far down the line.
