VAT Verification Settings - Sales and purchase transactions not using your most common Tax Code

This shows transactions that don't use your most common tax code. You can change which tax code this is within the Verification Settings before you calculate the VAT Return.

If the tax codes are correct

You can ignore this warning, click Close then check any other warnings in the Verification results summary or to continue with your VAT Return, click Close again.

If the tax codes are incorrect

Close the VAT Return and delete or reverse the transaction.

You can delete a transaction within File > Maintenance > Corrections.

You can reverse a transaction by posting the opposite transaction type. For full details about how to delete or reverse transactions, please refer to Ask Sage article 14519.

Once you have deleted or reversed the transactions to update the values, you must then recalculate the VAT Return.
