VAT

Hi Has anyone come across this problem before? if so any ideas how to resolve it. We are coffee shop with multiple tranctions each day, which include VAT, we use connector app to move the tranactions into QB, where the tax is recorded. At the end of each day, the consolidated payment comes throuigh from square, less thier chargesa nd is recorded in QD. When i try to prepare my VAT return, the amount is correct - calculated from the individual tranactions, but the consolidated payments from Square sit on teh exception report without VAT. If i change the VAT code, they get added into the vat amount and push it higher than it should be, on paper it looks like are avoiding tax on these consolidated receipts? Any ideas how to resolve?

I want QB (Sole Trader online - UK) to be able to correctly calculate the Income Tax and NICs for my self-employed income. I have a salary from another employed role which has PAYE already deducted. Can I enter my gross annual salary in QB anywhere so It will take account of this and apply the correct rates for Income Tax and NI?

Was sorted out and updated and now started doing it again

I use MTD, I am up to date in QuickBooks, but HMRC is showing an old VAT return for 2020 is still missing.

Hi All can you please advise me how can I add VAT amount in each line in the sales invoice as per UAE FTA Article 59, full tax invoices are to be issued - line items have to show the tax value and net value.I'm using QB online.  Thank you so much. 

Having never had an issue with submitting a VAT return, when I have come to submit my most recent one for the period to 31.12.25 I am getting a message that "We can't connect to HMRC right now" and CLIENT_OR_AGENT_NOT_AUTHORISEDI have then gone to Edit VAT and disconnected and reconnected MTD but still it won't me me submit my return.I think the issue is somewhere in the link between QB and HMRC but I can't see where or how to fix itHelp!

Is it possible to wipe clean and start again?

I presume it's something to do with needing to give my authorisation for HMRC to deal with Quickbooks perhaps? But why the sudden change? When I click on the link that appears it's an HMRC page for accountants to sign up their clients, which isn't my case. I'm a sole trader. I'm just going round in circles with this... Any help is appreciated - thanks!

the unfile action isnt displayed so can you unfile or delete it or confirm if it has been actually submitted to HMRC I also have a second return, I am unable to submit it due to the incorrect dates being selected, however I am unable to amend the dates or delete the return, can you either amend the end date to 28/12/25 or delete the return

How do you enter this in QB?

i have added this journal:dr motor expenses gross amount exempt sales vatcr moto expenses net amount 20% vat

Hello, I recently started using QB for my small business. It is now time to submit VAT but I noticed thatAmazon transactions are not showing VAT therefore, it is showing discrepancy in the total VAT.It is showing Total Tax but when I click on select Tax, it does not show me any option. Also, all transactions that were automatically processed don't have any VAT assigned. Any help would be appreciated.TIA      

Hi Guys, Could you help, I've been away from my Quickbooks for a while, others have been using it and I see there's been several updates. One really annoying thing I've come across is when I create a new part / Material its not defaulting the VAT to 20% instead its leaving the VAT box blank, any ideas, has someone changed a setting I'm not aware of. Thank you for any replies or answers

Got QB to do my own VAT, accountant done them up to last submission. QB saying can not connect to HMRC but has also come up with nil returns for earlier this year? dont need to do anything with these as already submitted but there is an error showing, could this be why/, the date in VAT settings keep defaulting t a date last year when we presume this needs to be date of registration which is 1973. No idea where we are going wrong?

I have registered for VAT part way through my year-end. How do I claim VAT on the products that I still have and have paid for in the year on QB to make sure that only my net amount is entered in my nominals? E.G:Financial year is 01/04/2025-31/03/2026.VAT Registered as of 01/01/2026 with first quarter being 01/01/2026-31/03/2026.Tool bought for £300.00 Gross in November 2025, how do I make sure that only £250.00 goes into my plant & equipment additions and the £50.00 is claimed back as VAT? I am aware that Box 4 will be adjusted in my first return for anything pre 2025/2026 year-end, however what do I do for anything bought in this year? Do I just categorise anything pre vat registration as gross amount and 'No VAT' and then adjust box 4? Thanks.

It has been taking ages to load and I have changed browsers to see if that helps.

We haven't changed anything in the software since our last submission
