How can we submit a 17 month period VAT return through QuickBooks online?

Our client has had to back date VAT registration to 1st December 2020. As a result the first VAT return will be for the extended period 1st December 2020 to 30th June 2022 (i.e 17 months). Setting the VAT start as December will not pick this up. How can we set the first VAT return dates in QuickBooks to report this and submit the VAT return for the 17 month period?

Hi glassspider As long as HMRC have set the obligations for that 17 month period then you would first de-activate MTD within the client account and mark a one day filing for the 30th of November, please ensure that it is for a zero amount, then activate MTD again and the next period should align with the obligations from HMRC.

How do we mark a one day filing for 30th November 2020? The first VAT period is showing as 1st December 2021 to 28th February 2022? (MTD is not enabled).

Hi glassspider If there have been no previous periods marked as filed within QuickBooks, and this is the first filing, then you will be able to select the prepare return option and enter the start and end date as the 30th of November 2020 and mark the period as filed.
