Can the Customer Details Tab show the Customers VAT number

Hi @daveyj1,

Thanks for writing here.

As a seller, you need to add your VAT number to your invoice and QBO. you do not need to record your customer's VAT number. That is not your concern whether your supplier/customer is VAT registered or not. you are liable to record yours from your end. And the end of the quarter you need to prepare a VAT return and submit it to HMRC.

For any UK bookkeeping and VAT return help feel free to reach out through my bio.

All the best

I have answers to your questions and a workaround for the Tax Reg. No not showing in the Customer Details section, @daveyj1. 

The Tax Registration Number is not displayed in the Customer Details works as intended in QuickBooks Online. As a workaround, you can add it in the Notes section. 

No worries because the Tax Registration Number will display in the invoice form. See the sample screenshot below for more reference:
