Hi Richard,

 

You'll want to check your accounting period in the HMRC and then in QuickBooks, and be sure they match.

 

In QuickBooks:

  1. Go to Taxes.
  2. In the VAT page, click the Status drop-down list and choose Open.
  3. Click the Submit return link.
  4. Check the Accounting period, and choose the correct period from the drop-down list.

Please let me know if there's anything that I can help you with.

I've gone to the VAT page, but can't see a 'status' drop down.

 

The return (Feb, Mar, Apr) is showing in the list as 'submitted', and the open return in the list is the May/Jun/Jul quarter, which is current.

 

When I select 'Edit HMRC VAT' and then 'edit settings', it shows the 'start of current VAT period' as 'February', which is incorrect.

 

Basically, QuickBooks is out of synch with itself!

Hi richard23

 

The 'start of the current VAT period' will always show as February as that was the beginning of your first period, it will not update. The open period date range on the initial taxes page will change as you have stated.
