Solution:
The report is showing the error because the subsidiary name or logged in ser name contains a special character “&”. To resolve this error, remove the character “&” and retry to generate the report. Navigation to generate the report is:
- Go to “Reports> Tax> Country tax report”
- Select the already generated report for UK. Click on “View” of “Periodic VAT return – VAT 100”.
- Click on pdf link to generate pdf format of the report.
- NetSuite will now provide the pdf format of the report.
