Help with Sage Line 50 please

[zena9783]

Ok so I have inputted all the invoices and credit notes for customers and suppliers and reconciled the bank account.
I now have to do a vat return in sage...Ive never done one before, can anyone guide me on how to do this and how do i know if the figures are correct?

Secondly, one of the customers have given a CN which does not contra any invoice instead it was just paid via bacs from the Bank.
I know usually to handle a credit note..you mark it off against invoices but how do you handle this situation...I thought of journal but that will only be CR Bank DR Debtors Control Account not the individual customer.
Any ideas?

Cheers will be a big help

the reports list all the transactions that are put on the vat return.

to avoid the most common mistakes

a) set cash accounting when you first start up if you are using cash accounting

b) post opening invoices as gross amounts on tax code T9, if you are on standard accounting and have already accounted for VAT on your old system.
