Question asked by Mel Beneke-Orr 5 years ago
Hi,
Is it possible to mark pre MTD transactions as VAT reconciled?
The return for Feb - Apr 19 was submitted on the old system and then Clearbooks used from May 19 onwards. My client has the April transactions sitting there as their financial year starts then and we have to exclude when submitting current returns.
I am hoping there is a way to clear these but have not been able to find anything definitive.
Hi Mel,
There is a way to do this. You will need to create a legacy return for those transactions and save this without submitting. You can then turn MTD back on and go from there. Please see the guide below.

Best answerThank you Mohamed,
This had crossed my mind but I was concerned about switching off MTD and the knock on effect to returns made. I'll give it a go.
Many thanks

Hi Mel,
No problem. Let me know if you need anything further!
All the best,

Ho Mohamed,
Could you tell me the steps to switching off MTD please. I have got to create a new return as on the legacy return info link but am unable to save it.
Many thanks
Mel
