Hi Mark

Thank you very much for your reply and advice.

Its been a very long day this end hence the late reply.

I'll do as you suggest and update you with an outcome once we have it.

Rob.

I cannot say we have solved this on going issue.

 Proffessional help from a very good lady with the tech team worked through checking things.

We had not entered our VAT number in HMRC Supplier details field. In our ignorance we didn't know we had to and assumed that having entered it in our company details and having used it in numerous other scenarios within QB, it would be where it needed to be. It wasn't. Our mistake.

Another likely issue is that the type of Return is not set as VAT 100(UK) it is blank! but cannot now be changed as items are "using" the vat account as set! again our error! ( to clarify, this is all within "EDIT SUPPLIER") our supplier in this case being, HM Revenue & Customs.

It looks like everything from the quarter will have to be deleted, VAT RETURN set to what it should be, then re-enter everything! Luckily we are not a big business with dozens of daily reciepts and invoices but never the less a royal pita if it does come down to it!

We are currently waiting beyond 24hrs as advised by HMRC to see if the last submission has actually  connected.

Update to follow once we know more.

Sorted!

Wow! what a nightmare, most if not all of our own making! due to ignorance in the initial setting up of the account several years ago.

We are only a small entity and do not utilise a very large proportion of what QB has to offer but as a result of not setting up a supplier (HMRC ) correctly in the first place, bit us later when MTD was introduced.

Credit to the young lady I was on the phone with for over 3hrs this afternoon, a true proffessional, she got to the bottom of it and we are sorted.

Thank you Mona Liza

Thanks for updating the thread and passing on the positive feedback, it's great to hear you were able to get to the bottom of this with one of our agents, and just in time for the weekend!
