Choosing to Submit or Perform Data Changes
Now that you have populated the 9-box summation of the VAT submission, you can choose to go ahead with submitting the VAT return (see Making a Submission to HMRC) or perform any of the following actions:
- Navigate to the Clear Tax Data tab to see a summary of any transactions that have data errors. For any such errors, you can:
- Correct them in the source ERP/finance system and re-upload e-upload the data for the period to the Digital VAT app.
- Mark them in the ERP/finance system as ignored and re-upload the data for the period to the Digital VAT app.
- If you are using an ERP connector that handles the returning of status information from the Digital VAT app, these error transactions are marked in your ERP system with an error status. Refer to the Error handling section in your ERP user guide for details of these actions.
- Navigate to the Clear Tax Data tab and clear all data from the VAT submission.
- You would typically do this if a reconciliation error needs to be corrected by excluding one or more transactions, or if you are not happy with the data uploaded for any reason.
- The status of the data upload will need to be re-set in the ERP/finance system and a new data upload session performed with the replacement data.
- Refer to your ERP user guide for a description of this process from an ERP perspective.
- Additional transactions which may have been missed in the initial upload can be uploaded and the calculation re-run by refreshing the Digital VAT app page in your browser.
