Edward, This is probably worth a new feature request in the bug reports as VAT/GST now applies in many jurisdictions. It may take some time for someone to tackle the problem. It would require an additional flag on each transaction which may involve considerable recoding.
One possibility for a short term workaroundwould be to use the reconciled flag on your tax accounts to signal whether or not the tax has been included in previous returns or not. You would not normally reconcile your tax accounts against any external statement. The trick would be fiddling the starting and end balances when you run the reconcile procedure as you will not have an end balance from a statement. The starting balance will be determined by the transactions you have reconciled and the end balance can be edited from the main reconcile window while you are doing a reconciliation. transactions from previous periods and future periods which have not been reconciled do show up in the reconciliation window so thay are accessible to mark. I would put a note in the memo flagging any transactions which were not included in the return for the period they are posted in indicating which return they were corrected in This would at least give you a process to mark transactions. You can then open the transactions from the tax account registers and determine the amounts for the corrections to your return from the splits for each transaction. You would then rerun the reconciliation on your VAT accunts to flag these transactions once you have included them. OK if you only have a relatively small number of rogue transactions each reporting period, but not if you have a high turnoverand a significant number.
