VAT reconciliation workbook

A downloadable Excel template for reconciling your sales ledger, EFRIS invoices and monthly VAT return — with built-in sanity checks.

This workbook ships with four tabs: sales ledger import, EFRIS envelope import, reconciliation worksheet, and the VAT-return reveal.

The sanity checks on the reconciliation worksheet are: total ledger sales = total EFRIS supply = Box 1 of the VAT return.

Any mismatch is a reconciliation break. The workbook flags each break with a traffic-light.
