Change Opening Bank Balance

Question asked by Tanja Pepin 6 days ago

I am new to MTD and tried it out a couple of months ago in order to prepare myself for the new tax year. I am ready to start properly however the opening bank balance is completely wring. I cant change it no matter what i do. Please can you help. I have unlinked my bank account in order to input manually but this hasnt helped. All google searches and Chat GBT searches say i can manually change the balance but I simply cant.

Hi Tanja,

You can change your opening balances by clicking Settings > Opening balances > Click on the bank balance > Amend the Opening Balance on the next page.

Thank you for your answer as I'm tearing my hair out with this! However there is no Ammend option for me. When I click on Opening Balances and update it to the balance in my account on the 6TH April - my new accounting period - it changes it - but then when I go to Dashboard its added that new amount to the old amount so now its even higher. I literally just want to start from scratch again. All the info recorded for last tax year was just me familiarizing myself with it. Surely there is a reset button? I thought as the new accounting period started i would be able to start afresh. Its taken so much of my time I'm getting so frustrated and disheartened.

Is there a number I can call?
