QuickBooks Q&A

Dear Forum Members,We received a letter from Companies House UK advising that "From 1 April 2027, all companies will need to file their annual accounts using commercial software", i.e. software filing.It surprised us to see that QuickBooks Online is not (yet?) listed as suitable accountancy package for software filing:https://www.gov.uk/software-company-accountsI believe that all users of QBO deserve a statement from QBO with regards to:- whether QBO will become accredited by Companies House for software filing- what the time time / dates are for this accreditation, i.e. will it be in time for the deadline set by Companies HouseHas anybody heard anything on this from QuickBooks?Many thanks for your help.

Hello, I am using QuickBooks Online for my self-employed business. I can see the “Income Tax” section and tax estimates, but I do not see any option to connect to HMRC or submit quarterly updates under Making Tax Digital for Income Tax. I would like to confirm: Am I eligible for MTD for Income Tax at this stage? Do I need to register separately with HMRC before this option becomes available in QuickBooks? Once registered, will the “Connect to HMRC” and submission options appear automatically in my account? For context: I am self-employed (construction / bricklayer) My turnover is above £50,000 My QuickBooks account is active and working correctly Could you please advise what steps I need to take to enable MTD submissions? Thank you in advance for your help. Kind regards,

I don’t know how to set my app to send quarterly updates to HMRC

I need to enter a trainee onto our payroll at zero hours contracted and paid monthly. Does anyone do this already and if so how did you enter them onto the payroll?

  If you have any questions about how to create an invoice, please post your question below and an expert will help you get where you need to be.     

why does the payroll pay schedule next payday box not accept a date?

Is this a bug or setting?

Hi, I have added 10 photos of receipts and they’re not showing up as expenses my expenses are still showing £0 ?

I have a petty cash account and have sold something for cash in hand. Im struggling to figure out how to simply track that sale.

I'm using the OAuth2 flow to login into a third party app. However after logging in (and still on the QBO authentication screen) I cannot continue if I don't setup "Payments". This screen is still on QBO for the avoidance of doubt, not from the third party application

  CIS affects UK construction businesses in different ways depending on which side of the contract you're on — and plenty of businesses are on both sides simultaneously, which adds another layer of complexity.   We'd love to hear about your experience: • Contractors: Are you finding it straightforward to deduct from subcontractors and file your monthly return in QBO? Any sticking points?• Subcontractors: Is QBO handling the 'Less CIS' deduction on your invoices correctly? Any issues tracking your CIS suffered over the year?• Both: What's the biggest challenge managing both sides of CIS in the same QBO account?   Also — how do you find the HMRC verification process? Any tips for getting that right first time?  

When you look at the return to 31.5.25 you will see an extra column “Open transaction” where it entered £25,825 vat due and £14,436 vat reclaimed. I assume it attempted to pick up all the Vat on invoices still outstanding at that date that hadn’t been paid (to move away from the cash basis). I couldn’t get the details or a report for that column
