Making Tax Digital

Hi there community and Happy New Year! I've just setup Qbooks for MTD and it has all seemed to have connected correctly to my Government gateway. I was due to submit a VAT return this week with my new company which hasn't charged any VAT yet so it would be zero for now.  Will QBooks let me know when I have to submit and deal with this current return? or do I now have to get in touch with HMRC to let them know I have setup QBooks for MTD or will they automatically know this already? I'm worried I'll get fined as I've just made the crossover. Basically do I need to email HMRC? Or am I going to be ok? First year doing all this and I'm a little naïve.  Kind regards,Simon

Trying to eliminate the issues that is preventing me from connecting to HMRC MTD.Maybe it is the "Effective date for new scheme" which is set to 31/12/2020 - however, I moved across to QBO only two months ago, but backdated entries with an effective start date of 01.01.2023. Our VAT Periods are March, June, September and December.  Is this the issue, and how do I change it, as it will not allow me to update. Other possible conflicts, we posted the first two VAT returns using Sage, so whilst we need to record these returns, we don't need to post to HMRC online - would this be the issue.... any help would be greatly appreciated 

Hello, I have been unable to submit by VAT return through Making Tax Digital for over a week with the warning 'We can't connect to HMRC right now'.  I have gone through all of the trouble shooting advice and have not been able to resolve this. Is this a problem anyone else is having? Does anyone have advice of how I might fix it. I have been using the MTD portal without problems since 2019 so at a bit of a loss.Thank you

Apologies if this has already been answerred however I'm trying to submit my VATY return fvor the first time.  I can confirm the end date is the correcty one and that HMRC Government Gateway is connected. Any thoughts on why the message taxReturnInvalidMTDEndDate keeps getting returned?

When you allocate a cost to category - 'property maintenance' - why does this not then show up on the tax report under 'property repairs and maintenance'?

My client wants to take over the VAT return submissions. I am Primary Admin user and he is Standard User with full Access at that level. According to QuickBooks webpages he should be able to submit VAT returns.He would presumably need to record his Government Gateway code and password etc to allow this but it is not obvious how we change from my Gateway credentials to his.We can see that MTD can be turned "off" but this gives a warning to "unsubscribe" from MTD with a link. That link is broken probably because the MTD sign up routine has changed to become automatic.Can anyone tell me the procedure.

Hi all, So, signed up for MTD in June and haven't managed to submit a return yet. Quickbooks is showing an open return dated as 1st february 2022, but I didn't sign up until June. There are no other return dates showing, so my May quarter and this quarter are not available. I have spoken to HMRC who say there isn't an open return for 1st Feb, but this is the only thing QB is showing me. Any ideas before I launch the pc out the window??

Are there any other Partnership businesses using QBO that have found a simple solution to submitting SA800 Annual Tax Returns (other than on paper).  I’ve been waiting for Intuit to add this function since MTD was introduced but there seems to be no plans in place to address this.  

I am new to QuickBooks I had a great onboarding session but have another one booked but I in the meantime I am struggling to link my bank account to my QuickBooks account.  I'm wondering if this needs to be done before I submit the return?  Thanks for any help.

Have used quickbooks for years what do i need for MTDregardsWilliam

I was under the impression that I had successfully filed my CIS returns for the last 3 months but I have just logged into HMRC to find they are missing.  Quickbooks says they were successfully sent. I have tried to work out how to unfile these on Quickbooks so I can resend them but I can not work out how to do it. Has anyone else had this issue?

I've been using QB online for several years, always send my VAT submissions through QB. Does that mean I'm already sending digitally? I can't find confirmation that I'm already compliant.  Is there somewhere on QB that will confirm this, anyone know? Thanks

Hello, our Client who is  a limited company submits their own VAT returns using their HMRC gateway id. They are trying to re-authenticate QB's with HMRC but are being asked to enter the Agent Services Account which they don't have. Can you tell me how they sort this out please, is it because they are logging in with QuickBooks Accountant online version?As an accountant when we login & follow instructions for cog/accounts & settings/advanced we do not see a VAT option in the list, has this been changed with the recent MTD update?

My accounts use locations, to delineate personal employment, my wife's self-employment and our holiday cottage business, which contributes to both our personal incomes. Can we use location to submit Making Tax Digital returns? There does not seem to be a way to segregate the tax report in any way.

Hi I am all set up for MTD all deatails are correct but I am unable to connect to HMRC. I have noticed my VAT period shows date of 2020 but am unable to change this to correct date ?Thanks 

I have recently filed 4 VAT returns and paid HMRC but the filed returns are showing as 'Reopened'. How can this be changed to 'Paid'

Good afternoon all From October 2021 i am having issues with the RCSCIS-20.0 VAT code. Any invoices generated appear immediately on my quarterly VAT sheet and not when I receive payment (which is sometimes up to 2 months later). I am on VAT 'cash' basis and have checked the relevant settings in quickbooks and all have 'cash' selected. This was working perfectly up until the beginning of October. I am only having issue for RCSCIS-20.0 VAT code, the standard VAT codes are recording when the payment is received and not when the invoice is generated which is what I want. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I am new to MTD and my first QUARTERLY return was for period 010322 to 310522 now I'm trying to submit second QUARTERLY return the VAT report is only showing results for 010622 to 300622??? How do I make the report show results for the Quarter 010622 to 310822??? Many thanks

I have recently resubscribed to QB in order to submit VAT returns. My bank account is connected, HMRC says connected on their website but i'm not connected according to the VAT page on QB. I had qb before but i changed to manual returns via hmrc site but as of now i need to submit digitally. There is a gap in my QB subscription of a couple of years. How to reconnect to HMRC to make the return ?

Hi I have two questions - the service I provide is VAT exempt so how do I enter this into qb online? Also, is there a way of calculating corporation tax? I want to be able to enter this info so I can get a tax estimate that reflects my circumstances. Thanks Denise 

Suddenly I cant connect to HMRC MTD.I have checked all the settings in QB and all appears to be correct.I have been submitting vat using MTD for a year or two so this doesn't make any sense.Anyone else have this problem?

Error message:Error while fetching tax obligations from HMRC. (code: "INDIRECTTAX-10355")???

I am a small business where I and others use a service company to invoice and ingather money and VAT. They send me an account each quarter showing how much my total outputs and output VAT are. It also shows the work they've done for me and how much they charge for that and the VAT on that (not all of it attracts VAT). They then send me the money and VAT they have ingathered for me to my bank account LESS their charges + VAT on them. The only figure that QBQ takes from my bank account is this NET figure so I need to be able to show the full output figure and output VAT figure so HMRC know how much I owe and whether the INPUT VAT I am claiming means I owe HMRC money or vice versa.How do I get these figures into QBQ and more importantly into my VAT return? Please help!!!

QuickBooks is showing on the VAT screen that it can't connect with HMRC. I have checked with HMRC and I am authorised to act for my client on my agent's service account. I have recently added a new client on QuickBooks and am waiting for authorisation from the new client for VAT, but surely this shouldn't stop me from acting for an existing client.
