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. The program reports a deviation if the posted VAT differs from the calculated VAT.

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.

Check the journal entry to determine whether it was registered on the wrong transaction date or if a corrected version of the previous period's tax report must be submitted to the Skatteverket. If you do not do anything, the journal entry will be included when the VAT report is posted.

Deviating sum

If the VAT check shows Deviating sum, 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 0,1.
