Hi,
All VAT gets calculated and updated automatically once it’s in a live VAT period. 
If Bullet is stopping you deleting an invoice then that invoice is probably in a closed VAT period. As in the VAT return has been created and closed.
Removing that invoice would change the VAT account in that return. Which would mean you’d have to manually submit a change to your VAT return and update Bullet using the manual journal entries. 
Bullet doesn’t provide automation for those functions, and we don’t provide help in these situations, it’s a task for your accountant/bookkeeper. 
If you need to edit items in closed periods, click Tax > the VAT period > on the right click ‘On Pay VAT period’, take note of the payment date. 
Make your edits and then follow the same flow and click “Paid VAT Period”. *If you’re removing/changing an invoice amount or bring that invoice out of that VAT period then you’ll need to submit an amendment return. If you’re just changing the suppliers name etc then you don’t need to.
Thanks Pete

    Hi Peter thank you for your reply,my query was concerning a new invoice that i enter in bullet last night,that invoice was dated in july 11 last ,and the vat on this was not included in the jully /aug vat return as its closed off by now,my question is can i claim that vat in the september /october return ? Or is that lost of vat return as its not possible to do that?
    Should i re enter this invoice with a date in this current tax period? If so how i can amend the invoice i recorded in last nite?thank you peter

    Hi,
    Any item bill/invoice entered with VAT will be calculated in the VAT return.
    If you shift the date of the invoice to a new VAT period you'll still be able to claim the VAT.
    Hope that helps.

  7. leskin November 14, 2016
    That i cant delete it because its entered in a tax periods that is all ready closed (but that invoice never was entered before last night)

    Ok,
    Like I mentioned above
    'If you need to edit items in closed periods, click Tax > the VAT period > on the right click 'On Pay VAT period', take note of the payment date.
    Make your edits and then follow the same flow and click "Paid VAT Period". *If you're removing/changing an invoice amount or bring that invoice out of that VAT period then you'll need to submit an amendment return. If you're just changing the suppliers name etc then you don't need to.'
    Note as I mentioned above you'll need to manually update the system and revenue.
    Tks P
