VAT Report in South Africa

Good day

Randy here from South Africa.

When I do a VAT report I get all Zero’s. there are no amounts showing.

Am I doing something wrong? All my VAT codes are captured.

Please advise.

Please give us more details:

  1. Manager Edition (Server, Cloud or Desktop)
  2. Operating system if not on Cloud (Windows, Linux, MacOS)
  3. Manager version (on bottom of each page, if Cloud it is up-to-date)
  4. Screenshots, of Edit screens of Invoices, Receipts and Payments in the period of the report (March 2024) where VAT was added
  5. Screenshot of Settings -> Tax Codes
  1. Manager Edition - 25.3.5.2142 (Laptop)

  2. Operating system (Windows)

  3. Manager version 25.3.5.2142 (on bottom of each page, if Cloud it is up-to-date)

  4. Screenshots, of Edit screens of Invoices, Receipts and Payments in the period of the report (March 2024) where VAT was added

  5. Screenshot of `Settings

    → Tax Codes`

You did not yet provide the required information. You only show some view screens. I can not help you further until you provide all that was asked for.

Hi Sir. The above is the information you asked for.

Did I miss anything?

Where are the screenshots that eko asked for?

Invoice and payment

I asked for these screenshots. None of them are from View screens as you posted but from Edit screens. All for the March 2024 period that you reported on your very first screenshot.

That is a lot of work, hard to appropriately redact and more importantly unlikely to be helpful in solving the problem.

The report shows all zeros, not a small percentage error.

More useful is

  • editd screenshot of report definition
  • Edit screenshot of one transaction in the period
  • Edit screenshot of the tax code definition for the tax code used in this transaction
  • A test business or transaction could be used for this if desired

@randyw I would start with these:

Good morning All

I came right. I had to do all transaction s over for that period. Invoices, receipts, etc. I now have the desired results.

Thank you for your support.

Regards,
Randy

In hindsight, what was actually wrong with the initially entered data?

Other people often experience similar problems at a later time.
Because of which describing how you fixed the problem is appreciated and may help to improve Manager.

I am not 100% sure, but I am going through the processes to see what I was doing wrong.

Perhaps broaden your report period. It seems that there might not be data within that period

Just a word of caution. Input Vat cannot be claimed on the instalment of a vehice as part of it contains interest that is exempt from VAT. Input Vat should be accounted for at time of purchase for the full capital amount.
