VAT reconciliation - Show which VAT return transactions are submitted on
Like Sage I would like every item to have the VAT return Date and month it was recorded on attached to it and if/when it was adjusted which return the adjustment was submitted on as well.

Thanks so much for sharing this idea, and to everyone who’s added their thoughts and votes.
We can see why having a clearer view of which VAT return a transaction was included in would be helpful, especially when reviewing bills, invoices, and adjustments.
We’ve moved this idea to Gaining Support so we can keep listening and better understand the demand for this improvement. If this would make a difference to your workflow, please keep the votes and examples coming — they really help our product team understand the impact.
We’ll continue to share updates here as we learn more.

This feature would save a huge amount of time for accountants, bookkeepers and clients. When investigating VAT discrepancies or reconciling transactions, it can be incredibly time-consuming to determine which VAT return a specific transaction was included in. Having this information visible directly on the transaction would significantly improve efficiency, reduce manual checking and make VAT reconciliations far easier.

So often a client asks "but how do we know that this big reclaim transaction has been included somewhere already, can't we include it in this return as a late claim?" Then I have to trawl through VAT return after VAT return to find the line in the detail to show them "yes, this was included already, see it says so right there" - I know its included somewhere because if it wasn't Xero would be automatically including it as a late claim now. But that's not satisfying for the client, they want me to tell them exactly when it was included, sometimes months after it happened.

It would be helpful if you could see which VAT return a transaction was on. Eg on bills/invoices- you could look in notes to see that the transaction was on a particular VAT return.

It would also be helpful if there was something that would show whether an individual transaction has already been included in a VAT return submitted and show which VAT return it was included in. For example in the account transaction report there could be a column that shows which VAT return the transaction was included in. In the individual transaction there could be a note below showing which VAT return it was included in.

I totally agree with Dee, I have also suggested this to support - perhaps also add a column to the account transactions report. Please Xero can you implement this idea. Thank you.
