how can i download a vat details report for a previous vat3 filed

To get the exact breakdown of transactions for a previously filed VAT 3 return, the best place to go is your VAT page. This ensures you're viewing the precise snapshot of data that was submitted to Revenue.

Here is how to download it:

1. Go to All apps from the left-hand menu and select VAT.
2. Find the History or Closed/Paid Returns section on this page.
3. Locate the specific VAT 3 period you need.
4. In the Action column next to that period, click View Summary, then select Run Detail Report (or click View VAT detail directly, depending on your screen view).
5. This will generate the VAT Detail Report showing every invoice and expense included in that return.
6. Press Ctrl + P on your keyboard (or Cmd + P on a Mac). This opens your browser's print menu. Change the printer destination to Save as PDF to download the exact page to your computer.

If you need a clean Excel or spreadsheet version:

1. Go to Reports from the left-hand menu.
2. In the search bar, type VAT Detail.
3. Select the report, and set the date range to match the period of the previously filed VAT 3 return.
4. Run the report, then use the Print icon or Export to Excel/PDF to save it.
