Corrections in a VAT locked period

Here's how to correct a transaction you've already made in FreeAgent that falls into a VAT locked period.

Only certain transactions can be edited in a VAT locked period, namely, bills and bill credit notes, bank payments, and expenses.

Invoices cannot be edited once a VAT return has been locked.

How edited transactions will be dealt with for VAT

If you edit a transaction in a locked period, FreeAgent will preserve your existing locked VAT return intact, and make any necessary changes on your next unlocked VAT return.

That's how HM Revenue expect VAT errors to be corrected.

How to make the corrections

Edit your bills, bank payments and expenses as you would do to correct any other errors.

FreeAgent will then make those changes on your next unlocked VAT return.

Simple as that!
