Where can I see VAT / sales tax totals and the difference vs Books?

Last updated on May 18, 2026

Short Answer: Check the 'Total' card at top-left which shows 'VAT / sales tax', 'Books' and 'Difference' with amounts and transaction counts.

PreRequisites

  1. Be on the VAT / sales tax vs books page.

Steps

  1. Locate the 'Total' card at the top-left of the page.
    You see sections labeled 'VAT / sales tax', 'Books' and 'Difference'.

  2. Read the amounts and the transaction counts beneath each amount for example, '160 transactions' and '165 transactions'.
    You can see the numerical totals and counts used to calculate the 'Difference'.

  3. If the 'Difference' is unexpected, open the 'Matched' and 'Unmatched' lists to investigate which transactions cause the gap.
    You identify unmatched transactions or amount mismatches contributing to the difference.

Troubleshooting

  1. The 'Difference' value is not what you expect.
    LikelyCause: Some transactions are unmatched or amounts differ between VAT and book records.
    Action: Open 'Matched' and 'Unmatched' lists and review the individual transactions to isolate discrepancies.
