Question

QB Filed Quarter VAT Return not received by HMRC

Hi

Around the 12th Sept using QB MTD link within the VAT window we filed our VAT quarter return to 31/08/19

We were confirmed as LOGGED IN, we altered the dates as our quarter has been changed to match our year end.

We also made some figure adjustments as we are Flat Rate.

All figures matched and the FILE NOW link was clicked.

VAT Summary report showed correct figures.

Today VAT summary report ( same date period) shows all zero's, suggesting the report was filed.

VAT Control account shows General Journal entry for 31/08/19 as vat0020  along with the correct figures 

As of today 07/10/19 HMRC have no record of the return and suggest the problem must be within the software, eg QBooks.

We are running Desktop 2019 Pro

 

Can anybody help please.

    I cannot say we have solved this on going issue.

     

     Proffessional help from a very good lady with the tech team worked through checking things.

    We had not entered our VAT number in HMRC Supplier details field. In our ignorance we didn't know we had to and assumed that having entered it in our company details and having used it in numerous other scenarios within QB, it would be where it needed to be. It wasn't. Our mistake.

    Another likely issue is that the type of Return is not set as VAT 100(UK) it is blank! but cannot now be changed as items are "using" the vat account as set! again our error! ( to clarify, this is all within "EDIT SUPPLIER") our supplier in this case being, HM Revenue & Customs.

    It looks like everything from the quarter will have to be deleted, VAT RETURN set to what it should be, then re-enter everything! Luckily we are not a big business with dozens of daily reciepts and invoices but never the less a royal pita if it does come down to it!

    We are currently waiting beyond 24hrs as advised by HMRC to see if the last submission has actually  connected.

    Update to follow once we know more.
