Hi Danny, I'm here to provide you with information about VAT features and the QuickBooks platform.
If you want to set up and manage VAT in QuickBooks, please consider changing to QuickBooks Online (QBO) as it fully supports VAT functionalities. Currently, QuickBooks Self-Employed (QBSE) does not include VAT capabilities, as QBSE is for individual freelancers and self-employed individuals with simpler financial requirements.
Additionally, I'd added an article that outlines the QBO features that may help you in the future: Get started with QuickBooks Online.
