VAT Treatment of Multiple Expenses in a Claim
Problem reported by Graham Stewart 3 weeks ago
I just started my VAT return and noticed multiple expensed items have been incorrectly excluded from the scope of VAT. If I look at the individual items, they each correctly show the VAT as being in scope and with values showing in the VAT boxes. With these 20 expenses then grouped as a single claim, I notice that the VAT treatment of the first one on the list (happens to be outside of VAT scope) seems to have been applied to all expenses, so the VAT shows as zero for the entire claim, which is wrong. This incorrect VAT summary shows on the expense claim summary screen as well as the draft VAT return.
The claim summary box states that it is out of scope of VAT but it consists of multiple lines with different VAT treatment in use. Can expense claims only be grouped where all items in the claim have the same VAT treatment?
Is this just user error on my part, or has anyone else noticed this as an issue?
