VAT Control accounts are a nominal account used to track amounts of VAT payable and reclaimable by a business during its normal activities. For each purchase and sale an amount equal to the VAT due or receivable in respect of the transaction will be applied to the account. Reviewing the account balance will show the current total liability to HMRC, although that balance may be more than is actually payable if there is a VAT return due.
VAT is accounted for in the Balance Sheet if you have the right to claim VAT on purchases and liability to pay VAT on sales respectively i.e. if you are VAT registered. VAT on purchases is accounted for in the Profit and Loss (purchases are entered gross i.e inclusive of VAT) if you have no right to claim it i.e. if you are not VAT registered.
VAT payable is liability for business and shown in liability side of balance sheet of business.

VAT stands for value added tax. it is simply a form of compensation tax. Let suppose a firm paid $ 30,000.00 to the government under the head of value added tax on 30th June 2010. The journal entry will be as follow: DR: Value Added Tax (VAT) Account $ 30,000.00 CR: Cash / Bank Account* $ 30,000.00 * If payment is made by cash, then Cash Account will be written on the credit side. And if bank draft or cheque is paid, then Bank Account will be written on the credit side.
A control account is a summary of the individual accounts in the subsidiary ledger(purchases or sales ledger) :)
