Wages payment affecting VAT Return Reports

Hi Everyone, 

 

I import the payment of my wages from the Bank Statement that is fed into QuickBooks automatically, but when I select "Expense" it obliges me to choose a VAT Code, which will go to VAT Detail Report, even if I choose "NO VAT". Does anybody know how to sort that out?

It's nice to see you here in the Community space, @Raique.

 

You're correct that once you've enabled the VAT feature in QuickBooks Online (QBO), you'll need to choose a VAT code when categorising your transactions. Also, all of the transactions will appear in the VAT Detail Report, even those selected as No VAT.

 

As a workaround, you can change the accounting method of the VAT Detail report to Cash and place a checkmark on the Report expenses on cash basis checkbox.

 

Moreover, for VAT Exceptions, QuickBooks will automatically figure out if a transaction should be marked as an exception based on its payment status and the reporting mode. For more information about this, please refer to this article: Choose between cash and accrual accounting methods in reports.
