I need to reset my VAT return - need to zero out all figures - have not saved

Hello, Kardinal. In your case, we can delete the transaction or adjustment one at a time. I'm happy to walk you through the process step by step. Together, we can reach your goal of zeroing out all figures.


When you make a VAT adjustment in QuickBooks, the system automatically logs a transaction to ensure accuracy in financial reporting, compliance with tax regulations, and a clear audit trail.

 

We can delete the transaction or adjustments individually to zero out the figures, as there is no option to do it in bulk. 

Here's the method to follow:

 

  1. Head to the Taxes menu and locate your VAT return.  
  2. Hit Prepare return, then click the amount you want to adjust.
  3. VAT Detail report will show up. Choose the VAT adjustment or transactions you want to delete.
     


Additionally, you can consider seeking advice from an accountant or tax advisor to ensure the correct adjustment and accounts are selected.

 

Moreover, here are some articles that offer information on various VAT codes, rates, and operational mechanisms:

 

It's always a great idea to consult a professional accountant to help you navigate the specific VAT rules and ensure you're fully compliant. If you have any questions or thoughts you'd like to share, don't hesitate to jump in. I'm excited to support and help your business thrive.
