My Business is not VAT registered, how should I label sales in Quickbooks

My business is not registered and sells electronics on Amazon.  Should I label VAT on sales as being "20.0% S (Sales)" or should I label it as "No VAT (Sales)"?

 

Thanks for your help

Hi billygreenway, if the business is not VAT registered and VAT has been enabled in QuickBooks, you can default this to 'No VAT' so that you do not select a VAT code when entering transactions. To do this, select the Cog > Account & settings > Advanced > Accounting > Default tax rate selection > No VAT.

Thanks v much!

 

So just to confirm - if I'm not VAT registered I can put No VAT on every transaction?

Thanks for getting back to me billygreenway, you can only charge VAT if your business is registered for VAT, typically, businesses who are not VAT registered would not activate VAT within QuickBooks - if you have any concerns or queries, please reach out to HMRC or your accountant for further advice. :folded_hands:
