27 May 2008 If your Vat Input is more than Vat Output than make following entry - :

SUPPOSE YOUR VAT OUTPUT IS RS. 20000 & VAT INPUT IS RS. 25000
YOU CAN PASS FOLLOWING ENTRY

VAT OUTPUT A/C DR. 20000.00
VAT INPUT A/C CR. 20000.00

YOUR VAT INPUT A/C SHOWS RS. 5000.OO DR.BALANCE

YOU CAN TAKE CREDIT OF VAT INPUT IN YOUR NEXT MONTH RETURN
