How do I restart my VAT as the periods were closed and the entries were incorrect

Hello there, Mike.
 

Closing your books helps lock in your data exactly the way you want it. It also prevents any unintended changes before filing your VAT, and that could impact your financial reports.

To edit transactions and correct entries in a closed period, sign in as the Master Admin and then turn-on the Close the books button.

Here's how:

1. Go to Settings and click Account and Settings.
2. Select the Advanced tab.
3. Select Edit in the Accounting section.
4. Turn on the Close the books button.
5. Select Save, then Done.

Once you have reopened your financial records, you can now manage your VAT.

It is advisable to consult an accountant before making any changes, as they can ensure proper handling of these entries, confirm compliance with accounting standards, and address any underlying issues in your financial records.
