Close the VAT Return and reverse the journals.

You can do this by posting the opposite journals within Company > Nominal Ledger > Journal Entry. For full details about how to reverse journals, please refer to Ask Sage article 14002.

Once you have amended the tax code or reversed the journals you must then recalculate the VAT Return to update the values.
