[GNC-dev] Fwd: [GNC] UK VAT and "Making Tax Digital"

[Maf. King]

Hi Christopher.

sorry for not getting back to you sooner - we had a bank holiday weekend here 
in the UK and family life took over.

I'm on it now, adding bits to your template file.

I think the report handles the reverse VAT etc OK - might need some extra 
subtotals exposing for boxes 2,8,9.   I don't do it often, and when I do it 
has only been simple transactions.

will be in touch later with a data file.

Maf.
