where can i find that `VAT REPORTS' because when i go into REPORTS TAP there is no tap for vat reports.

Hello kipchaui,

If you scroll down on the reports tab, there will be a section named 'Manage VAT' which will provide various VAT reports.

Thanks,

Talia

Why doesn't the VAT Detail report show any detail of the description in the description column? It's a pretty useless detail report without those essential details. 

Hello,

The VAT detail report is there to see the detail behind the overall box figures calculated. The description column shows anything entered into the Memo box. Please use the feedback option under the cog wheel if you would like to suggest this improvement to the VAT detail report to the developers - they will look into implementing this in future updates if possible.

Thanks,

Talia

Yes but the detail is in the description, without the detail description how can it be a VAT detail Report?   Yes I've submitted feedback, but this is pretty disappointing that I have to copy all the descriptions to a memo field just to get them to show up. May as well use a spreadsheet. 

Dear QUICKBOOKS,

So since 2019 this issue has not bee sorted. I am in 2021 and trying to downbload VAT report but there is no description of the VAT.

I hear you, and I can see the importance of the VAT description when downloading the VAT Detail Report in QuickBooks Online (QBO), @cherop1.

Hi adriaan1 We've replied to you're additional post and look forward to hearing from you.

Except someone at QB central just changed the way reports now work,

Thanks for that guys

I don't see a manage vat tab either

Hi Sussane, the interface has been updated since this post - the VAT detail report can now be found by navigating to Taxes from the left-hand menu > VAT > select the drop-down beside report > view VAT details.
