How to write off a bad debt by journal, with Vat, and get into UK VAT Report?

edited Apr 27, 2023 4:29PM in Ask A Guru 7 comments

I wish to write off a Bad Debt, and we’re using the UK edition and the original invoice has VAT.

I’ve read and tried SuiteAnswers 64438 and although that will process things in the Trial Balance, it does not get into the UK VAT report. We’re using the older International Tax Reports SuiteApp.

Values only get into the Tax Return if they have a Tax Code.

If I try to enter the 3 lines on a journal, each with a Tax code then NetSuite generates 6 lines, with lines 4-6 each being 20% of lines 1-3. These lines are wrong.

If I enter 3 lines on the journal without any tax codes, then nothing gets into the UK VAT return.

Howdy, Stranger!
