Hi
I’ve been trading now for 10 months and using QBO during this time. I am now VAT registered. Can i just turn on the tax function and start using it from the date i became VAT registered?
Or do i need to do something special/different to compartmentalise the pre-VAT period i was trading from the post-VAT period? I just don’t want to cause any problems with the system setup.
Any guidance would be gratefully appreciated.

Hi @JeremyAdv
You are only VAT liable from the date of registration as on your "Confirmation of VAT Registration" letter that was issued to you by SARS. There is nothing special/ different to do. Once the VAT is turned on, QBO will start to track the VAT on the sales and purchases you tell it to.
The steps etc. to turn the VAT on are explained nicely by @BettyJaneB
