VAT and crossover periods

If the VAT periods you are reporting on overlap a change in VAT Flat Rate Scheme rates, then your VAT report needs to be calculated partially on the old rate and partially on the new rate.

  1. Go to Settings. (If you've switched to the new design, select your initials, then Account Settings.).

  2. From Configuration Settings, select VAT Settings.

  3. Towards the end of the page, select I use the Flat Rate Scheme for VAT.

  4. Once selected, further options are shown enabling you to enter the current FRS rate, select the Retained VAT Code then enter details of the Previous FRS rate.

  5. Select Update.

Example: If you are using 10% up until 31st December 2021 and 12% from 1st January 2022, then you would enter the rate current rate as 12% and the rate and date for Previous FRS Rate as 10% with a date of 1/1/2022.
