The VAT can affect the accounting equation in two different ways.
The accounting equation is
ASSET=CAPITAL+LIABILITIES
So, if VAT is OWED from HMRC (receivable) it will be an asset, so the asset will increase and the Capital will increase as well.
ASSET+X=CAPITAL+X+LIABILITIES, where X is the amount of VAT received.
If VAT is owed TO HMRC (payable), then the liabilities will increase, which means that the capital will decrease with the same amount.
ASSET=(CAPITAL-Y)+(LIABILITIES+Y) where Y is the amount of VAT to be paid.
The debits in the accounting equation increase the amount that appears on the left side. The credits in the accounting equation do the opposite and increase any amount that appears on the right side.

The Accounting Equation is Assets=Liabilities + Owner's Equity?
asset increased, liability increased
you did the mathh wrong and must re-do it
The accounting equation is as follows: Assets = Liabilities + Stockholder's Equity
The fundamental accounting equation: Assets = Liabilities + Equity, is the basis for all financial accounting measurements.
The accounting equation displays the relationship between capital, liabilities and the assets. The accounting equation shows that the assets are a sum of the liabilities and the invested capital.
Equality on the accounting equation is that Assets equal liabilities + owner's equity
