I'm a VAT registered trader and since January 1st 2015 I've been required to register for the VAT MOSS scheme to collect EU VAT.
Last month we discovered that the software we use to calculate VAT wasn't working correctly and the VAT MOSS element was still been included in the national VAT report. This means that since last January 2015, I've been overpaying national VAT.
I've contacted Revenue and I'm not sure they understood the issue (the lady didn't know what VAT MOSS was), but they said they'd get back to me.
Would anyone have any advice on how to deal with this. Should I just submit amended national VAT returns for each period since January 2015 via ROS or can I just deduct the overpayment from my next return and put a note in?
The amount wouldn't be huge, about EUR1300 - so I'm not sure about generating extra paperwork for everyone by submitting amended returns for each period.
