VAT returns using only bank payments, not purchase invoices?
Do you find correct to do a VAT return by not posting all the purchase invoices of the period, but just go through the bank payments and post that transactions instead?
I have never seen something like that before!! What about invoices that have not been paid yet?

Yes but are they on the cash accounting scheme? VAT returns are done that way for the cash accounting scheme, it wouldn't show anywhere but on the VAT workings0

No, they are not on cash accounting, that's why I'm wondering about it! the manager says it's ok to do in this way, but I have my concerns..0 -
It sounds like they are cash accounting their expenses but normal accounting their income. I believe it happens a lot with small businesses. I don't think HMRC particularly care because it is a cash flow advantage to them.0

Yes, they do account normally the sales by posting all the invoices, however the purchases ones are by the bank transactions. Is this type of VAT return called too "cash accounting" therefore?
Anyway I worked with so many clients and I have never seen something like that!0 -
I would call it half 'n' half!
