Hello Community Users, We just wanted to pop in and add to this thread. With the introduction of MTD for filing VAT returns, the process for changing VAT return dates is different. If it is your very first return you can set up the start month and the period in the settings as usual. However the dates for the returns are told to Quickbooks by HMRC through the MTD connection in the form of obligations ( the dates HMRC advise the filings should be for) In this case the Quickbooks should update with the same return dates as HMRC automatically. If you see a difference it is worth logging on to the HMRC gateway and checking what dates show there before doing anything else. If they show correctly on the gateway contact us here and we'll take some details to look at what Quickbooks was sent. Any questions please just ask
