VAT report deviations

If the program finds any VAT amount that seems to have been incorrectly entered, a message will be activated. When you click on the link in the message a list of all the journal entries that you need to verify opens.

Not all deviations require correction

Please note that a journal entry is not necessarily flagged in the VAT check because there is an error that must be corrected. Some deviations might not be mistakes.

If the journal entry flagged by the VAT check is correct as it is, you do not have to take any action. The journal entry will be included in the VAT report when you post it.

Deviating date

If the VAT check shows the remark Deviating date for a journal entry, it means that the VAT report you are working with contains journal entries that should have been posted in an earlier VAT report. This happens when you register new journal entries in a period after the VAT report for the period has already been completed and posted.

Depending on which scenario applies, you can either report the previous period in the current period or submit a VAT supplement report to Belastingdienst. You can read more about this in the topic Correcting VAT report from earlier period.

Deviating VAT

If the VAT check shows Deviating VAT, this may be due to several reasons, such as:

• the amount entered is incorrect.
• the entry was posted to the wrong ledger account.
• the wrong VAT code is linked to the ledger account used.
• an article was linked to the wrong sales category.
• you used a sales category with the wrong settings.

Please note that the program will not show deviation that is equal with or less than 1 euro.
