The purpose of the VAT 100 Report for parish and town councils is to generate the quarterly VAT return required by HMRC for some councils, depending on the extent of their trading activities. The VAT 100 form is a usually a quarterly, but sometimes monthly, return that provides details of turnover and VAT amounts, offering the figures for different boxes in the return. This report corresponds to HMRC's submission requirements and can be supported by detailed listings. The amount of VAT to be paid to or refunded by HMRC will be calculated automatically - if a payment is due to HMRC this must be made outside of Scribe. The VAT 100 Report is crucial for parish and town councils to ensure accurate VAT reporting and maintain compliance with HMRC requirements.
Log into Scribe Accounts and navigate to the menu VAT → VAT 100 Report.
