To my accountants, I have received and paid invoice number 010569 (copy attached) for your services in respect of three Redgrave Stores VAT returns which amounted to £722.63 and this has given me cause to review what we should do for the future.
As you know, the shop is not returning a profit which makes such costs feasible, particularly (as you will recall) the last expenditure of £150 +vat actually gave rise to an additional small VAT bill rather than made a compensating saving!
In general, I am now managing to achieve a high degree of accuracy based on real sales figures and if the above result is to be the norm, then I feel we should just put the computer figures into the form and save these costs, unless there is a quicker and cheaper way or rule of thumb of approximating the accuracy and only working on if there are savings to be made.
By the way, now that I am getting better sales analysis from my system, I have found that I was overestimating output VAT charged by adding it to the VAT-rated sales (e.g. S*17.5%) instead of extracting it from the same figure (1-(S/1.175)) and so I had been underestimating sales and overestimating VAT.
I am calculating this correctly for the current quarter (ending October) and the first thing I am noticing is a growing negative VAT liability but wonder what effect this would have on our past claims and whether your corrections would have taken account of this?
