How do I prepare a four-month VAT return?

Hi bill147 When you login to your HMRC portal is the 4 month period showing as the expected period and do you have MTD enabled within QuickBooks?

Hi John, thanks for replying, really appreciated. Quickbooks has open VAT period of 1/8/2021 to 31/10/2021 and MTD is enabled. 

TIA, Bill

Hello Bill147, thanks for that information, when you logged into your HMRC portal  how long of a period was it saying? is it saying the 4 months or is it showing the same as what quickbooks is showing? 

Hi Ashleigh

it looks like HMRC is expecting the original three month return as mentioned, then a one month return. They have been so slow in responding, I have lost sight of it. 

I'm going to get in touch with HMRC so if I need help again I will get back on this portal. 

Thanks for your help thus far

Hi Bill, no problem at all and yes you will need to get in touch with HMRC as they are the ones who are sending us the periods so they need to change thew period their end which will then update on our end so you can then submit it. 

Yes please get back in touch if you need more support.
