Well we don’t create a form like a traditional form that you can read. We create a digital form that the ROS computer can read.

    I also noticed my VAT number should have IE in front of it. I tried to change the system wouldn't save it for me.
  2. helloka January 30, 2016
    oh, ok, so can I look at it before filing?
  3. helloka January 30, 2016

Ok so you can review what’s in the VAT return by clicking Tax > The VAT return you want to look at. 
You’ll get a screen like this, if you click the grey box in the centre it will expand with all the items (bills/invoices) for that tax period.

    Did your VAT return get rejected from ROS? What error did you get?
  2. helloka January 30, 2016
    Let me give it a go:) I'll get back to you in a minute
  3. Peter Connor January 30, 2016
    Ah, is this your first return?
  4. helloka January 30, 2016
    yes, it is, I would have been lost without bullet but still it took my life out of me to get it sorted. Also I realised, because quite a few shops did not pay on time, I actually could have left it until later in 2016... bad start to the year.

    If I was to take a picture of you doing your vat return would it look like that
  6. Peter Connor January 30, 2016
    How come it was a problem getting it sorted. We actually take it from your Bills and Invoices? Is there something we could do better?
  7. helloka January 30, 2016
    no, no, it was me, leaving messy accounts till last minute.
  8. helloka January 30, 2016
    i have a few complicated ones, mainly different channels of online sales, where I have to create invoces in bullet based on data from, paypal, sum up, stripe, etsy payment system in direct checkout. because i sell worldwide, some sales i have to pay VAT on while others I don't.
  9. helloka January 30, 2016
    I have to calculate it all manually and then deduct fees, refunds etc.
  10. helloka January 30, 2016
    I have to find a system for it, that's all/
  11. Peter Connor January 30, 2016
    We'll we'll probably have that built in the summer. We've rebuild our bank reconciliation engine as you know with platforms they take a fee. That messes up the invoice because you're not invoicing 100 now you're invoicing 100 minus fees.
    So we're working on that, it's a big job though probably a couple of months work.
  12. Peter Connor January 30, 2016
    If you're happy with the numbers of your vat return and you entered them into Bullet then the VAT return is correct. So just submit - if there is an issue ROS will tell you.

    If that happens let me know what the error was.
  13. Peter Connor January 30, 2016
    Just so you know ROS aren't some scary monster. Once your trying to pay tax their happy.
  14. helloka January 30, 2016
    I oh, I know, I will get my head around it eventually. I'm just having a bit of a moan, I was up doing it unlit 1 am last night:) Looking forward to the new features. It's great and super helpful anyway. Thank you and happy new year!
