I have just changed my line 50 accounts from standard Vat to Vat cash accounting. All is fine but I have just tried to post a supplier payment (which includes a payment on account) and I keep getting the following message. "There is a mismatch in the net/tax elements of the payments selected. Please ensure that the tax codes of any credit notes/payments on account are matched against invoices with which they are to be allocated to" Any ideas?

Tax is now accounted for at the moment you pay the invoice, not the moment you receive it.

This normally happens when toy try paying a T1 invoice using a T0 credit note or something like that.

Are you using an existing payment on account, credit note?

Yes i am using a credit note that was entered as a T0 tax code. The invoices I am trying to match it against are T1 tax codes.

Unfortunately you can not match T0 items against T1 items as the VAT codes need to match for the VAT return.

I suggest you change the VAT code on the credit note to T1 and have 0 VAT on it.

If it has not gone on a vat return you should be able to change it in error corrections. Otherwise you need to raise a T0 invoice to 9999 to get rid of it and then a T1 credit note to 9999 with 0 VAt to reinstate it. The T0 invoice will match with the T0 credit and the T1 credit will match the T1 invoice.

how about when i am trying to match invoices against a payment on account as the PA is a T9 and the invoices are T1?

The payment on account will have to be deleted and reposted.
