How do I check VAT nominals are linked to the VAT Return?

The 9527 - Reverse Charge Input VAT and 9526 - Reverse Charge Output VAT nominals must be linked to the relevant box on the VAT return. For additional guidance on what is required in your VAT Return, go the How to fill in and submit your VAT Return guidance on gov.uk.

The nominals should already be linked to the relevant VAT return boxes when IRIS Financials was installed.

  1. Go to Masters, then select Nominals.
  2. Select the required nominal, then Indices.
  3. From the Index list, select VATMTD.

  4. Check the nominal has been linked to the correct box on the VAT return, from the following:
