Hello there.
I'll assist you in recording tax payments and explain the difference between the VAT payable and VAT suspense accounts in QuickBooks Online.
Once you finish filing, you'll manually record your tax payments in order to zero out your VAT payable.
Here's how:
The Payments tab will then display your payment information. To learn more about managing VAT payments, see this article for more information: Manage VAT payments in QuickBooks Online.
Furthermore, the VAT Payable account tracks the VAT owed to tax authorities, representing the amount you must pay. The VAT suspense account temporarily holds VAT amounts that cannot be allocated to specific codes or accounts, typically used when there is uncertainty or error in allocation.
