Just a thought - can you mangle the VAT spreadsheet to sum the CSV exported box 1 and box 6 (nett) figures to give you a grossed-up number? Maf. On Thursday, 19 January 2023 17:20:31 GMT you wrote: > How could I organise my accounts such that I can pull my total sales > including VAT into

How could I organise my accounts such that I can pull my total sales including VAT into the Box 6 total in the Income and GST Statement? At present my sales go to one account and the VAT charged goes to another. But VAT is paid from this latter account to HMRC so the balance of the account in a

Thanks Maf. That seems like a neat solution. I'm almost there. Because I'm on the Flat Rate Scheme my Box 6 figure needs to be the total of sales including VAT but apart from my Accounts Receivable which goes to zero once the invoice is paid I don't see how to get that figure from anywhere. I

Scripts can also make redundant tasks less of a burden through hands-off automation. That's what scripts do well, too. I'm seeing a few posts in this topic verging on berating the OP for wanting to do something and asking if there's a way. Maybe you stop second-guessing the OP's needs and

To submit VAT data to HMRC here in the UK I am obliged to use a method which is automatic. So I need to find a way to trasnfer the balances from a couple of accounts to an Excel spreadsheet automatically ie not by copying and pasting. I need to press a button and it is done without the
