The company purchased some goods and services (standard-rated supplies) that were used for making mixed supplies, that is, taxable supplies as well as non-taxable supplies. In such case, the entity can recover the input VAT only partially.
Note. At the end of the tax year, the business must also perform a "wash-up calculation" (annual apportionment adjustment) based on resulting proportion of taxable and non-taxable supplies made by the company during the tax year. For details on annual apportionment, refer to Case 13.
To register a purchase of supplies, you create the following documents:
Based on the entity's sales data, at the end of the current tax period, you need to calculate the percent of the input VAT that cannot be recovered. Depending on the company policies, you can apply this adjustment percentage to each document that includes purchases used as mixed supplies or you can create a single adjustment applicable to total residual input tax incurred during the tax period. The procedure below describes a case of single adjustment.
To register this adjustment to the recoverable input tax, you create an Input VAT Transaction.
Where: Taxes > Tax Documents > Input VAT Transactions
Click the button to review the GL transactions generated for the document. As the result, the initially recoverable VAT will be decreased by the adjustment amount, and the balance of the default expense account will be increased by the same amount.
In the VAT Return, the VAT adjustment amount will change the amounts in the Amount and VAT Amount columns of the Standard-Rated Supplies row.
