zero rated expenses are not being added to box 7 of my vat return

Hi,

 

I'm migrating to QB. As a test, I've run a VAT return summary on my current system and on QB.

 

I have a small number of expenses that are zero rated for VAT. The value of these expenses appear in box 7 of the VAT return produced by my current system, but do not appear in the VAT return produced by QB.

 

To me, it seems that QB is making an error in not including these expenses in box 7. But I cannot see the reason for QB excluding them or any means of forcing it to include them.

 

Any suggestions would be welcome. Thanks.

 

Mark

Found the problem.

 

I had the expenses listed as 'No VAT' rather than 0%.

 

The VAT returns now match each other. Phew!
