21% reduced VAT rate for Ireland not showing up on the dropdown ? Anyone else having this issue ?

Hi there, @accounts378.

I want to ensure that you'll be able to see and select the Standard 21% rate on your sales transaction in Quickbooks Online.

The Standard 21% VAT rate is already available in the system. When creating transactions, make sure that you've selected the Inclusive or Exclusive of Tax in the Amounts are section so you'll be able to choose taxes in the Tax field. Please see the screenshot attached for your reference: 

Once verified and the problem continues, I recommend accessing your account using a private window. This can help determine if the problem is browser-related. Sometimes, the stored cache files on your browser may lead to expected behavior like the one that you've experienced.  

If you're now able to see the VAT rate, you can now go back to your regular browser and clear its cache. This eliminates unnecessary data and refreshes the program. You can also refer to this link to learn more about the browser that works best with QBO: System requirements for QuickBooks Online.

Lastly, I'm also adding this link that provide insights about the different VAT rates that you can add in the system: How do I set up sales GST/VAT rates and use them on forms?

Hi 

thanks for getting back to me

I tried in an incognito browser, and a different browser, and I have cleared the cache..

Still not showing up 

Any other suggestions ? Or do I try to add manually ?

Glad to see you again, @accounts378.

I can see that you've already performed the troubleshooting steps provided by my colleague above. I'd like to know if you've encountered an error during the process so that I can provide a specific resolution.

For now, let's check if the RCS VAT code is turned off in the Vat Rates. This might be the reason why you're not able to see the option for a 21% VAT reduction. Here's how:

1. Go to the Taxes menu.
2. Under the Tax name column, select RCS.
3. If it's turned off, you can turn it on under the Action column. Note: You can also turn it off and on again to check if this needs to be manually changed. Here's how it looks like:
   
   

However, if the issue persists I'd suggest contacting our QuickBooks Online Care Team. They have the tools to help you get to the bottom of this.

I've also added this article for your future tasks if you have customers in other countries: Multi-currency FAQ. This contains common questions and resolutions that can be applied to many QuickBooks Online users.

Yes, I am having issues with RCS codes in QBooks Online that  started happening once the VAT Rate was changed here from 23% to 21%. 

I cannot enter an invoice on the QB system that has an RCS VAT Code. The system gives an error. 

Also the two-monthly VAT3 report is not correct as a result.

I have reported the problem to QB last September but it is still not fixed as far as I know. 

Are you able to enter RCS VAT Coded invoices on QB Online? Perhaps it is something I am doing wrong. 

Good day, John.

I'd like to know the exact error message you encountered so I can check it. In the meantime, you'll want to review the VAT rates to make sure that the RCS is on.

1. Go to the Taxes menu and select RCS under the Tax name column.
2. Toggle the button under the Action column.

Also, it's best to reach out to our Customer Support Team again since you already reported this. That way, they can review it again and see if there's an update with your case. 

In addition, you'll want to enter a sales tax adjustment correct tax liability.

1. Go to Taxes and select Prepare VAT.
2. Select Adjust in the VAT line that you want to change and choose an Adjustment Date and VAT rate.
3. Choose an Adjustment Account and enter the amount of the adjustment in the Amount section.
4. Click Save.

I'll be here if you need more help. Stay safe!
