Question

File historic (overdue) VAT returns via MTD

Hi - am trying to file historic / overdue VAT returns, showing as unfiled on HMRC website.  Obviously these can no longer be filed with HMRC directly (manually).   The bookeeping is now up to date in QB online & I was hoping to simply file across the 9 returns via MTD, however this appears not the case.

 

QB shows that my records do not match HMRC's, so I click "take action" and am prompted :

This VAT return must be marked as filed

HMRC has already received a VAT return for the period 01/02/2022 - 30/11/2022. Just mark the return as filed to close the books.".

These VAT returns are not filed with HMRC (per HMRC portal) - how do I process via QB MTD and get up to date?

Hello HR-NB-SMC, thanks for posting on the Community page, if you can reach out to support either via chat or phone 0808 234 5337 the agent will be able to see what the obligations that have been sent by HMRC are and then we can advise on how to proceed based on what is filed in QBO and what HMRC are expecting.
