Claiming VAT for purchases before I was VAT registered

Hi guys,

Firstly, well done on creating such a superb bit of software. It does exactly what I need it to do, invoicing, timesheets etc, and in the format that I want! I'm happy :-)

What I am struggling with at the moment is claiming back VAT for items I bought before I was VAT registered. When I go to my current VAT return, it shows "VAT charged" and all the invoices I charged VAT on, but doesn't display what I can claim back in "VAT reclaimed" for expenses such as computers and other hardware purchased.

Any suggestions?

Many thanks.
