Any Sage Accounting – Accounting Edition user will have the ability to generate a VAT 201 report for an Open VAT Period provided that they have sufficient User Access. This means that the user will be able to generate a VAT 201 report in Pdf format that can be used to reconcile at any time during the VAT Period.

It is important to note that generating a VAT 201 Report in an Open VAT Period will not automatically update your VAT Period Status to Closed.

To initiate the VAT 201 Wizard, click on Reports > VAT:

• In the VAT 201 Wizard column, click on view for the specific Open VAT Period the VAT 201 Report need to be generated for.
  
  

This will automatically initiate the Sage Compliance Cloud VAT 201 Wizard’s first page in a new browser tab:

• The VAT Period Start Date and the End Date should already be populated based on the selected Open VAT Period in Sage Accounting, and once the user confirmed these dates, the user can click on the Create VAT201 button.

• Next the user will be able to review and update the details of the Contact person and Tax Practitioner. 

• Once the user has confirmed the details that will be contained in the VAT 201 report, click on Next.

On the next screen of the VAT 201 Wizard, the user should be able to review and edit the generated VAT 201 financials:

• To make a manual adjustment to the VAT 201 report, click on Edit.

• Complete the Adjust amount by value and add a Reason for adjustment and then click on the Make Adjustments button.
• Once the user has confirmed the details that will be contained in the VAT 201 report, click on Generate PDF.
• Sage Compliance Cloud will confirm that the VAT 201 Report has been generated successfully:

• Click on Finish and close this window.

This will reroute the user back to the VAT Returns and Reports screen in Sage Accounting and download a PDF file to your computer.
