Change VAT end for VAT period

edwardj · ‎September 05, 2019

Hi,

I am trying to file first VAT return in QB and also for MTD but the VAT end date is showing from May to August instead of the quarter May to July.

The VAT settings are start of current period May and quarterly filing frequency. it was showing as the end date in July yesterday so don't know why its showing as August today.

Does anyone know how to change this from August to July.

Thank in advance.

Hello edwardj,

Select Prepare return on this period, you will then be able to change the end date at the top of the page. With MTD, the dates that HMRC are expecting are automatically pushed through to QuickBooks, and so the dates may have changed because HMRC are expecting May to August from you. If you are positive this is not the case, change the end date and submit. If not, log into your HMRC account and confirm which dates they are expecting you to submit.

Thanks,

Talia

Hi, am connected to MTD

Thanks debbieeveburch,

Once MTD is enabled the obligations are sync directly from HMRC, if this is not showing the end date you are expecting you would need to contact them to update the obligation request.

Please get back to us if you have any Q's!

Hi, Any idea how to chnge the VAT end Date for the current version of QuickBooks? The method you described is not available now. I opened th Prepare Return link and there is no method to change the End Date on this screen. Thanks

Welcome to the Community, @GuzziMan.

I understand that you do not have the option to change the end date of your VAT end date in QuickBooks Online.

The option to change the VAT end date will be available if the VAT MTD is turned off. Thus, I recommend turning it off and adjusting the date of the VAT.

Once done, you can turn it back on. It should now show the option to change the VAT at the Prepare Return screen.
