On an invoice, why is it saying "Exempt Inactive in the vat column?

Welcome to the QuickBooks Community, @chantelle-beadsi.

I've tried opening the invoice on my sample file, but I can't see Exempt Inactive in the VAT column. Can you please share additional information or a screenshot on this? This way, we can provide the best resolution to this matter.

Please know you can continue to reach me here with your additional questions. I'll be standing by for your response.
