VAT Report/detailed Current Period - available without HMRC connection
It would be useful to be able to download the current periods VAT report, even when there is no connection to HMRC. This would be useful when the HMRC Gateway is down, or when waiting for an authority code from HMRC. This would allow reviewing the return while the HMRC Gateway is down and being able to carry out the Partial Exemption calculations when needed.
You can already do this in Xero Lorraine!
You can run the Non MTD VAT return, set the date range for the current VAT period and this will generate the VAT return so you can check through.
Once HMRC has populated the MTD VAT return you can click review and make any adjustment that you need. You can also delete the finalised Non MTD VAT return once the MTD VAT return is available to avoid confusion.
If you need an extra hand you can raise a case with our Xero Support specialists. 😊
