monthly payment account Vat

Jjosy8711y ago
hi Sir the company uses the annual accounting scheme. the total amount of Vat payable for the year ended 31 December 2013 was £10 200. calculate the monthly payment account that will have been made for the year ended the 31 December 2014? the answer is 10% of the annual Vat each, but what I dont understand is in the answer the VAT is for 9 months, from April to December. thanks

You are forgetting that there is a 10th payment, a balancing payment 2 months after the year end - hence the 10% as there are in total 10 payments.

Sir if I understand clearly, it means on the annual accounting scheme, VAT is always 10 months, and the balancing is for the next year?

There are nine payments on account from month 4 to month 12 of the annual VAT return period based on 10% of the VAT payable for the previous year, with a 10th and balancing payment due with the VAT return 2 months after the end of the annual VAT return period.
