How do i put on Vat certificate C79 with monthly import vat

Hi j-bruce-wkca-co- Thanks for reaching out to us here on the Community. If you would like to attach the actual certificate to the return, and you have the certificate saved to your computer, then when you mark the period as filed you would locate the 'Filed VAT' journal in the VAT suspense account within the chart of accounts, select/click the line entry, select edit, select attachments, add the file and save and close.

Hi @j-bruce-wkca-co- 

C79 Certificate is like a receipt from HMRC - usually for VAT paid direct to HMRC but, in certain circumstances, they can be generated when the VAT has been paid via a third-party (an import courier, for example).

To avoid claiming twice, you need to check whether the VAT it relates to was paid direct (since PVA was re-introduced that would be unusual).

If it was paid direct, you can enter into QBO as a Bill - 100% VAT.

If it was paid to a third-party, you should have their Bill showing the VAT element.  Pin/Attach the C79 to this Bill as your evidence for VAT reclaim.

Hope this helps.
