I'm just doing some expenses and one item has a printed receipt stating that the VAT rate is 20% however the total doesn't match.
Total: £541.50
VAT @ 20% £108.30
It would appear they've just divided the total by 5 and used that for VAT.
The VAT should be £90.25.
How should I enter this as an expense for accounting purposes ? Do I use the correct value or the one printed on the receipt ?
Thanks,
Tony.

Hi Tony
Our Chief Accountants recommends that you go back to whoever supplied the printed receipt and ask for them to give him a correct receipt.
I suppose as it stands at the moment there could be 2 wrong calculations of VAT so be best to have it corrected.
Hope that helps.

Many thanks Janice, your help's appreciated.
I did intend to let the shop know about their mistake so I'll ask them for a new receipt.
cheers,
Tony. -
