How do I record a VAT repayment when I wasn't using QB when I submitted the return

We can record it as a historical payment in QuickBooks, Kim. 

If you haven't filed any return in QuickBooks yet, we can change the effective date of the VAT setup to retrieve the return so we can record a historical payment. 

Before we start, we'll need to import or manually record all the transactions that are within the VAT return that has the refund. Then, we can change the VAT settings' Effective Date to pull up the return. 

Let me show you how:

1. Go to the Taxes menu and click VAT. 
2. At the upper-right, click Edit VAT and then Edit settings. 
3. Change the Effective date for new scheme to the date you filed the return. 
4. Click Save. 
5. Under the Filed returns section, the reports will then show up.
6. Click Record payment. 
7. Once done, click Save. 

If you have further questions you can always mention my name. I'll be here to help!

Thank you so much for your help

Hi,

I have a very similar question - please can you tell me how to record a VAT repayment from HMRC for the last return I filed before I migrated to Quickbooks.  (FYI, since then I have filed subsequent VAT returns using Quickbooks).

Thanks,
