VAT bookkeeping in Excel normally requires the business to record the net amount, VAT amount and gross amount for sales and purchases. For VAT registered businesses, it is important to separate output VAT on sales from input VAT on purchases so the VAT liability can be reviewed clearly.

This workbook is designed to help users monitor VAT-related bookkeeping records by keeping VAT values connected to the wider accounting system. Instead of recording VAT separately from the accounts, the VAT entries form part of the bookkeeping workflow.

• Output VAT tracking for sales
• Input VAT tracking for purchases
• VAT liability monitoring
• Gross, net and VAT value visibility
• VAT-related entries connected to the bookkeeping reports

Double entry bookkeeping means that every transaction is recorded with a debit and a credit. This helps keep the accounts balanced and allows the business to produce more reliable financial reports.

• GENERALENTRIES for posting bookkeeping transactions
• LEDGER for reviewing account activity
• TRIAL BALANCE for checking account balances
• PROFIT AND LOSS for reviewing business performance
