VAT claimed with no invoice
Input tax on a transaction with nothing attached, over your threshold.
Rate inconsistent with account
Tax treatment that doesn't match the account's usual default.
Same supplier, different treatment
One supplier coded two ways inside the same period.
Duplicate transactions
Same supplier and amount within three days.
Out-of-period items
Transactions dated outside the period but sitting in the return.
VAT total doesn't match net × rate
Arithmetic checked line by line, within tolerance.
Missing supplier VAT number
Where input tax is claimed and the gross is over £250.
