IMPORT VAT HMRC FORM C79

Question asked by Mike Shearman 10 years ago

We have recived a form C79 from HMRC which supports claims to import tax but how do I record it on clearbooks? At the momnet I have entered a purcahse for zero net value plus Vat equal to the VAT on the certificate. This has the right effect for the VAT return but I have an unpaid bill which doesn't need paying. Any ideas?

Thanks

Hi Mike, from what I can see here, if you don't want to add an actual payment you would need to either create a credit note or, instead of this bill, have a journal set up.

But if I create a credit note then the VAT balance would be incorrect ie too high. So they only route is journal?

I'll have a look into it for you and let you know, Mike.

Hi Mike,

Do you have a bill ID number please?
