Solution

To calculate the closing balance of the VAT input account as at 28 February 2022, we need to add all the VAT input amounts and subtract the VAT output amounts from the opening balance.

Step 1: Add all the VAT input amounts Opening balance: 14200 Cash receipts journal VAT input: 530 Cash payments journal VAT input: 9015.30 Purchases journal VAT: 6019.65 Total VAT input: 14200 + 530 + 9015.30 + 6019.65 = 29764.95

Step 2: Subtract all the VAT output amounts Cash receipts journal VAT output: 14112 Cash payments journal VAT output: 595.35 Sales journal VAT: 7728 Purchases returns journal VAT: 771.75 Sales returns journal VAT: 502.32 Total VAT output: 14112 + 595.35 + 7728 + 771.75 + 502.32 = 22709.42

Step 3: Subtract the total VAT output from the total VAT input to get the closing balance Closing balance: 29764.95 - 22709.42 = 7055.53

So, the closing balance of the VAT input account as at 28 February 2022 is 7055.53.
