Thanks for posting here, @Dawn72,
To get confirmation with the right VAT codes to use, please contact HMRC. We can help you setup taxes in the program, but for compliance questions, it has to be addressed by the tax agency.
If the default codes in QBO, is different for Irish customers, you can set up an additional tax rate, group rate, or custom tax to your company. Follow the steps below.
- Go to Taxes.
- Select Add Tax.
- Select the type of tax you want to add.
- Tax rate: add another tax rate for VAT, such as a local tax that is not already included.
- Group rate: combine multiple taxes and make applying them to your transactions easier. All taxes you include are calculated and charged at once, but we track them separately for you.
- Custom tax: add a tax agency and a tax percentage, such as an environmental levy, hotel, or petrol tax.
- Select Save.
