When preparing an Irish VAT return, QBO gives an amount to pay such as €1,000.49 , but when paying this amount to the Irish Revenue Online Service, they round this number down to €1,000. They force this rounding, I cannot change it.
Now when trying to match the bank transaction amount €1,000 to the QBO VAT amount of €1,000.49, QuickBooks thinks I have underpaid 49 cents and I can never finalise the VAT return and the account totals do not match.
How do I get around this?
Thanks

Thanks, that makes sense.
I have already filed the past five VAT returns in QBO with the slightly incorrect amount. I cannot adjust these anymore and I don't think I can delete them and start again. Would I be right in saying I have to get QB tech support to delete these filed returns?
Thanks
