Allow me to provide clarifications regarding assigning a VAT code to your transactions in QuickBooks Online.
The system will only allow you to track taxes on the expense, checking, and income accounts. However, utilizing the Accounts Payable or Accounts Receivable type of accounts isn't available.
To get your work done, you'll need to create an invoice or a bill so you can allocate a VAT code to the transaction. This way, it will be added to the appropriate bank account and will help show the tax amount you've paid.
For your reference, I'm also adding here some links about adding and removing the VAT rates or sales taxes on your forms in QBO:

Thanks for your response, is there anyway that I can delete the tax agency so that VAT code should not appear in Bank Reconciliation?
I'm here to answer your follow-up question, @hahbazk1987@gma.
Currently, there isn't a way to delete a tax agency because we want to preserve your data integrity in QuickBooks Online (QBO). It also seems like you only have one tax rate under that agency based on your scenario. I'd first suggest deactivating that VAT code so it won't appear in bank reconciliation. I'll guide you how.
The screenshot below shows you the last three steps. For the detailed instructions, see this article's Deactivate tax rates section: Tax Centre Overview.
The second option is to select Out of scope of Tax from the Amounts are drop-down menu when making deposits in bank reconciliation. This way, the VAT column, and its codes won't display on the transaction.
Once done, you can proceed with reconciling your account in QBO to ensure it matches your bank statement. Thus, I recommend visiting this website: Reconcile Workflow. It contains more details about starting, fixing any differences, and completing the reconciliation process.
I'm here anytime you have other concerns. Keep safe always.
Thanks for the response, I have tried both the options but still the issue is not resolved. Kindly suggest any other option.

Let's try one more step to fix this issue by adding and saving the deposit to a different account. Then, go back and edit it using the correct account.
If the same issue persists, I recommend contacting our QuickBooks Online Support Team. They can further investigate why it's asking for a VAT code when making a bank deposit.

Thanks Mary, but this is a very lengthy solution, I have more than 300 transactions in my bank feed for reconciliation, I can not individually change the account of every transaction.
I think this is a bug in QuickBooks online, where it is asking VAT Code for Accounts Receivable deposit, and when I provide Zero Vat Code (0%) it gives that error that VAT can not be tracked on Accounts Receivable and Accounts Payable.
Thanks for getting back to us and sharing your insights about the issue, shahbazk1987@gma,
In order to look into this further, you can follow MaryLandT's suggestion to contact our Support Team. They are the ones who can check if this problem is cause by a system bug and can provide other suggestion if you don't want to edit the transactions one at a time.
