Thank you. So so helpful. I have just swapped from Sage to Xero. I have used Sage for 29 years so very nervous about swapping over to Xero. I have to say it is so much easier to use.

Great video, as a freelancer my question would be, what happens if I’m not paid until after the vat quarter period?

[@BookkeepingMaster]

If that concerns you, sign up for VAT cash accounting. That way VAT is declared upon invoice payment rather than invoice date. Thanks for watching.

[@antoinette2563]

Almost like my friday nights 😂😂❤

[@BookkeepingMaster]

LOL! Thanks for watching

[@antoinette2563]

I have been watching all your videos the whole day! Iam also a qualified ICB Senior bookkeeper !

[@MargoLola-sj8pn]

Hello, This video has been so very helpful. But I have one question please... This is my first VAT return for my business and my accountant has advised me that I can claim back VAT paid for 6 months prior to my registration. Can you help with how to do this on my first VAT return please?

[@BookkeepingMaster]

I can do, but I obviously charge. Is this not something your accountant can help with?

[@user-gb4kj4dm9d]

After the Yer period is up,how much time do they have to file ? Two months whether Quarterly, or Yearly ?

[@BookkeepingMaster]

For quarterly returns, one month and seven days, so the 7th of the following month. Thanks for watching.

[@edwardcatton8211]

Once you have filed, does HMRC automatically take what you owe from your bank account or do you need to pay it somewhere else?

[@BookkeepingMaster]

You need to pay it by bank transfer or card unless you have a direct debit set up. If the latter, then it will be taken automatically.
