    When I completed my quarterly VAT return at the end of June, 2019, and sent it digitally to HM Customs and Excise at the press of a button (after finding it difficult to work out what to do as requested for numbers etc – not clear at all), there was no confirmation as far as I could see to show me that HM Customs had received my submission. Previously when I completed the return and sent it to them directly online I was given this confirmation and also told the date that the amount owed would be collected from our bank account. It was only when I contacted HM Customs on another VAT matter that I was able to check with them that the return had been received successfully and was given an approximate date when the amount would be taken by Direct Debit. They said it was the responsibility of our software provider to provide this information. Does Cashflow Manager show this and if so where should I look – if not please look into providing this as it is our responsibility to make payments and we need to know for certain that our return has been received by HM Customs. It is also useful to know when they will take the money owing.

      Hi Alison,
      If a VAT submission is successful, a message pops up and says “VAT successfully submitted. Would you like to view your VAT Bill Payment options?”. If the user responds with a ‘Yes’ to the message, you are automatically guided to the bill payment options, where you can make payment. I will send you an email with the guide on this process.

      Hi Patrick, The organisation or entity have not used the correct user ID or password details for the authorisation process, or they have not subscribed correctly to the VAT MTD pilot.

      The HMRC VAT Online Services Helpdesk have the correct functionality to assist with when these errors occur.

    Hello, I’m new to cash flow manager. When filling in the money in & out the Vat at 20% is not deducted correctly. It carries the full amount across to the VAT cells as well. For example enter £100. Vat shows at 16% and it carries through at £100. Is this correct? Do I need to adjust settings at all?

      Hi Ken, that is correct. The Money In and Out include VAT. When you run the reports it will remove it. If you want to chnage any VAT settings, go to Tools in the top left.

    Hi,
    I have recently bought a new laptop, and downloaded my version of Cashflow manager, on to it
    And like before, when I downloaded an updated version, I cant print up any reports or invoices, as its not recognising the printer on the printer box.
    I’ve been looking on the site, and I’m sure I’ve seen a heading, trouble printing reports, after updating, but cant see it now

      Hi Philip, you will need to set your printer as the default printer from the settings section of your laptop. If you go to settings on the laptop and then to devices, under printers and scanners, you can select your printer and set it as the default. You can then print your reports in Cashflow Manager.
