Making Tax Digital

We cancelled our VAT registration on 15th December 2022 and we haven't been able to link our QuickBooks acct with Making Tax Digital HMRC since. We are due to submit our next return on 3rd November and so it would be great to be able to use this tool as it saves so much time.The error message we get when trying to link the account is: We can't connect to HMRCThis could be because you recently: signed up for a Making Tax Digital account with HMRCsubmitted a VAT return to HMRCNone of this is relevant to us - we have disconnected and reconnected the accounts and the error is the same. There is no guidance on HMRC.Please help! Thank you!

Hi I am trying to sub my VAT return. Used the wrong HMRC login details. How do I correct this? Cant get the QB system to take me back to teh login point.

I've been using Quickbooks Self-Employed for many years for my freelance writing. However, I need to move to an accruals basis. I understand SE is cash basis only - is there anyway around this? Really I have to use accruals basis - if necessary I suppose I could mark all invoices as paid on submission, effectively making it accrual basis, but then I'd lose track if my number of invoices goes up. I know I could use Simple Start for accrual basis (and if my author income goes up I may end up needing to be VAT registered too). However, I have some expenses that are split between personal and business. Am I right in thinking Simple Start does not allow for separating of personal and business expenses? So I assume there is no means of marking or amending certain expenses as split between the two?

I'm a writer and use Quickbooks Selfemployed to do my tax return. I've recently received an advance, further payments will come over the next couple of years. HMRC advise that I can use authors averaging to average out the income, as authors have lean periods and then income in bulk https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/averaging-for-creators-of-literary-or-artistic-works-hs234-self-assessment-helpsheet/hs234-averaging-for-creators-of-literary-or-artistic-works-2020. Can I use Quickbooks both to show this and input it to my self assessment form?

I have completed my quikbooks for 2022/23 and added my accountant so that he can access and check before submitting the tax return. However when he puts in the passcode he gets into my account but sees ‘something is wrong’. Any advice please?

Please help me as I really can't understand what is happening, and if it is correct or not. So I registered for MTD for quarter April-June, I have confirmed all transactions from that period and I can't understand how VAT is calculated in the system. it shows as follows: Collected on sales : £3,922.70PAID ON PURCHASES : -£5,674.69VAT due  £9,597.390 Why it is the sum of those two? shouldn't that be the difference ? How much I have to pay to HMRC?

Been showing offline for a day

Original commenter did not share additional details

I was asked to reconnect my MTD for VAT credentials to submit a VAT return for a company I do bookkeeping for. I put in my own HMRC account in error, I should've put the clients VAT account details in. Now I cant get it changed and I am going around in circles. I suspect it is a Quickbooks issue and not an HMRC one. I will call them tomorrow (after bank holiday) but doubt they will be able to help. Found this is the help notes: When setting up MTD in QuickBooks Online, it is essential to use the correct credentials. Only use your official MTD credentials provided by HMRC via email. Do not attempt to use any other login information as this may cause issues with authentication and could lead to delays in submitting your VAT return or possibly even failure of submission altogether. Anyone any idea how to resolve it - submission due 7 June ! TIA John

new tax year for 2023-2024 still not showing in taxes,is there something i need to set up?

I am trying submit my VAT return and it won't connect to HMRC, the dates on the Taxes screen are 2022 and no dates for 2023. It does say there is a connection there for HMRC but doesn't seem to be communicating with quickbooks

how do i send my self assessment with quickbooks?

Hi, I need some help. I just logged in to download my tax report from tax year 2020-21. I have seen the file before but for some reason when I click on it now, every field is coming up as zero. When I click on my reports all the data is still there and when I click on the current tax year, it is also showing the correct figures. Why has everything disappeared?

Hello,  I have a Holiday Let and a normal Rental Property. Is there a way to do this on quickbooks as expenses against them go into different areas of the Self Assessment Tax Return and are also taxed differently.  Thanks in advance! 

When i set up my accounts for the first time I thought my VAT number was attached to my trading name but it is attached to my name, how can  correct this. 

PLEASE NOTE: we have used MTD to file VAT for some years now, and out VAT number is unchanged for decades.--We are unable to submit VAT return --> URGENT PROBLEM due to VAT submission deadline!When clicking on the button [File VAT MTD], we get an error window pop up which states:-"Please check your VAT Registration Number"this is then followed by e further window which states:-"Please check the VAT Registration Number and try login again."--As a result we are completely unable to use MTD and cannot submit our VAT return.This is urgent since we need to submit this return within the deadline.--Does anyone have any ideas ?--We tried using online chat support which was supposed to be available in the UK until 10:00pm (it boasts "We're open Monday-Sunday 8:00am-10:00pm British"), but at 9:43pm it was already closed.   .

Signed up to MTD & Quickbooks last Autumn and this is only the 2nd return I've submitted via QB.  Before the mandatory MTD sign up I used to work my accounts out manually using a spreadsheet.  So the problem I have is that there's transactions that I've already manually submitted returns for before using QB in the Bookkeeping section. Whilst preparing to submit the latest VAT return I accidentally added some transactions from the May-July period that's already submitted to HMRC not using Quickbooks. The report for the Nov-Jan period is correct but the amount of tax due in the section at the top of the page isn't. Is there a way to remove the transactions from a period that's already filled?

I am an agent, my clients have registered for MTD and we have successfully been submitting returns for the previous 1-2 years on this platform. I have re-signed in on agent account, which did not seem unreasonable. Unable to submit and the list of things to check have all been in place for 

We are a very small business and want to move from QB Desktop to online however in order to have the invoices calculate VAT QB Online is forcing me to register for the Make Tax Digital scheme. The problem with this is our accountant submits our VAT returns and uses their own accounting software to make the returns. I need the capability to create invoices with VAT but not submit information to HMRC. Is there a work around for this or do I need to try and switch to another online software? 

Having started MTD part way through the year my next VAT return is including all my transactions for the year not just the next vat filing period. Hel0 please

So recently migrated from QB Desktop 2012 to QB Online, the data had to go to Intuit but it seems everything has been dragged across.I have linked into VAT on the Government Gateway & I have followed all the steps to file the VAT, but when i click "submit return" i get the message "You must also click Save again to make this change that is prior to the closing date." which doesn't make any sense as the screen that pops up on doesn't have an option to "save" anything.Any ideas???

I am very confused about Sign -Up MTD for VAT. I do not use agent. But the link given by quickbooks is for sign up for client .  I tried to find the site in government's website to explain how to sign up MTD for myself. But just after "searching software", I cannot proceed  further .  Please tell me the further procedure to sign up MTD. 

I have just transferred from Xero to Quickbooks and at present my VAT page has an error message, no details for the current quarter, and when I click on the take action button I get this: "We can't connect to HMRCThis could be because you recently: signed up for a Making Tax Digital account with HMRC submitted a VAT return to HMRCIf so, hold tight. HMRC should restore the connection within 72 hours." I have been through all of the reconnection steps with Quickbooks help, clearing the cache, disconnecting, reconnecting etc, and I have been in touch with HMRC as well who told me about 3 weeks ago that they would resolve the issue within 10 days, clearly that has not happened My current VAT quarter just ended (December to February), now I've scanned through similar topics on the forum and seen a few people saying you cannot access the VAT submission until the return is due. As the period has ended, does this mean I'll now be able to access the VAT return at s

Good afternoonIs anyone else having issues with connection to HMRC?It's the first time I have lost connection and a bit concerned why?Kind regards,Mark
