Re: [GNC-dev] Fwd: [GNC] UK VAT and "Making Tax Digital"
Hi Christopher. sorry for not getting back to you sooner - we had a bank holiday weekend here in the UK and family life took over. I'm on it now, adding bits to your template file. I think the report handles the reverse VAT etc OK - might need some extra subtotals exposing for boxes 2,8,9. I don't do it often, and when I do it has only been simple transactions. will be in touch later with a data file. Maf.

Re: [GNC-dev] Fwd: [GNC] UK VAT and "Making Tax Digital"
Just wondering -- barring the capital purchase issue (which is easily resolved by expanding the sales/purchases account selection to *all* account types), is the GST report able to handle EC VAT splits?

Hi Christopher, thanks, I've just subscribed to -devel I can see no reason for anything other than GBP in a UK VAT return! sensible restriction. Maf.

[GNC-dev] Fwd: [GNC] UK VAT and "Making Tax Digital"
Maf's reply forwarded to devel. I think a sensible restriction to vat-report will be: all amounts *must* be converted into a report-currency... which will then ensure there's only 1 currency for grand-total, therefore 1 heading + 1 grand-total = 1 csv row. -- Forwarded message - From: Maf.
