Import Journal Entries with VAT

Hello Hdilnot, 

Welcome to the Community page, 

You can import the journal entries into Quickbooks but you would not be able to reclassify anything that is in the VAT control accounts. 

I can't see an option to include the VAT element when importing the journals?

why hasn't this been improved so that the VAT codes can be included in a journal import? it can be done with invoices, why not journals?

VAT is applied to nearly all goods and services in the UK and EU. Consequently, invoices utilise items to ensure accurate tracking of taxes, GBou.

Meanwhile, journals directly impact the accounts on your register. Thus, the VAT must be calculated manually, for which we recommend consulting your accountant. They are knowledgeable about the best and most accurate methods for tracking taxes.
