VAT Adjustment against Tax Payable [ VAT ]in
Tally.ERP 9
At the end of every tax period it is advisable to set off the output vat amount of output vat ledgers with
Input VAT amount of input VAT ledgers created.
Where the net output is in excess, the balance amount of VAT due is transferred to VAT
Payable ledger. For any tax period, if the input tax is in excess of output VAT, then input VAT has to be
adjusted to the extent of output VAT liability and the balance of Input Tax Credit can remain in the
respective ledgers.
To create a journal voucher for adjusting the output VAT against input VAT,
Go to Gateway of Tally > Accounting Vouchers > F7: Journal > Select Not Applicable from
the Voucher Class List.
1. Select the required Output VAT, Purchase Tax and CST ledgers to be debited from
the List of Ledger Accounts and enter the corresponding ledger balance amount for the
given period in the Debit field. These ledgers are to be debited for adjusting the total output
vat (for each rate) against input vat ledgers.
Note: Only in Karnataka VAT enabled Company, the output VAT, Purchase tax and CST
ledgers are to be selected to set-off the dues against input tax credit as the VAT return
acts as VAT and CST return. For other states, only the output VAT and purchase tax
ledgers need to be selected.
2. Credit the Input VAT ledgers and enter the amount that has to be set-off against the output
vat, purchase tax and CST ledgers that are debited.
3. In case the aggregate of input vat ledgers is less than the debit values of output VAT values
debited, transfer the balance amount to VAT Payable ledger by selecting it in the credit field. VAT
Payable ledger can be grouped under Current Liabilities or Duties & Taxes with Type of
Duty/Tax as Others orCurrent Liabilities.
4. In case where the input VAT value is more than the output VAT, use the excess amount to the
extent required for set-off. Here the additional ledger like VAT payable need not be used.
