Worksheet 1: "Invoices" - shows Amount of invoice, VAT due, e.g.
£100.00 £17.50 £117.50
£200.00 £35.00 £235.00 etc
for all invoices, December, January, February (sub-total for each month
shown at end of 3 columns)

Worksheet 2: "Purchases" - identical layout as above.

Worksheet 3: "Summary"
This shows:
December Sales
January Sales
February Sales

VAT on sales
December
January
February

Continues same as above for Purchases.

I know that I can copy and paste the sub-totals from worksheets Invoices and
Purchases for each month onto the Summary worksheet but is there formula I
can use to do this automatically and show how much is due at the end of the
quarter, i.e. amount of VAT received, less amount of VAT paid out.

Thanks

To reference a cell in another sheet, use a formula such as ='Jan Sales'!A1
We could be more specific but you description did not tell us where to find
monthly totals
best wishes

Hi Janey

If you have an entry in Invoices s/s in cell A10 for instance, in the
summary sheet in a cell of your choice input
=Invoices!a10
If you do the same for your net, vat and gross items on Inv and Purch but in
Summary have the Purch figures underneath say and a simple calc will give you
the figures you need for your VAT
