I'm about to move from the Flat Rate Scheme onto the Margin Scheme. Is it compatible with Quick Books? I can't see how it can be done. Thanks

Thanks for your reply GilnetteC. That's disappointing that the Margin Scheme isn't supported; now that the government wants us to submit tax returns digitally, this creates a bit of a headache. Do you know how I'd be able to add my VAT to QB's manually after calculating what's due in a separate stock book?

Please excuse my ignorance, but what exactly are you referring to when you talk about making "adjustments" using journal entries.

Is there any sign of QB's being able to incorporate the Margin Scheme in the future?

Thank you for following up with us, @stefanom1001.

Allow me to step in for a moment and share with you additional insights about VAT in QuickBooks Online.

The adjustments mentioned by GlinetteC refers to the taxes or VAT you need to record. In your case, you need to reach out with an accountant for help as it needs customisation with the invoice/s so a margin will be applied that would comply with your business needs.

Though the VAT Margin Scheme is currently not supported in QuickBooks Online. Rest assured our product developers are working nonstop to enhance the product for our customer's convenience. Hopefully, this will becomes available in the future.
