How do you remove VAT if your company is not VAT registered?

Thank you for reaching out with your query, Aweaver.

I understand that you're seeking guidance on the process of removing VAT charges for your non-VAT registered company. Don't worry, I'm here to assist you with that!

Once the VAT feature is activated in QBO, you won't be able to deactivate it. Alternatively, since you're not VAT registered, we can set the default rate selection to Out of Scope of Tax or No VAT from your Account and Settings menu. 

To proceed, here are the steps:

1. On your QBO account, navigate to the Gear icon at the top.
2. Choose Account and settings.
3. In the left menu, click Advanced.
4. Proceed to the Accounting section. 
5. Select Out of scope of Tax from the Default tax rate selection.
6. Click Save, then Done.
