Yes. We make sure to track your VAT correctly, userjames3.

 

The system will record what you've entered. Let's make sure to select Cash as your Reporting method. Let me guide you with these steps:

 

Just a heads up, we'll have to ensure that we selected the correct QuickBooks region.

make 

  1. Click the Taxes tab and then Set up GST.
  2. Select a Start of tax period and a Filing frequency.
  3. Select Cash as your Reporting method.
  4. Enter your Business ID No.
  5. Click Next.
  6. Follow the on-screen instructions to successfully set up VAT.

 

I've also added this article for more information in setting up VAT rates: How do I set up sales GST/VAT rates and use them on forms?

 

Fill me in if there's anything that I can help. Keep safe!

VAT Cash receipts basis in Ireland is 

 

VAT on Sales calculated cash receipts

 

VAT on Purchases is invoice/accrual.

 

A mix of both.

 

I cannot find this option.

I'll provide details about our concern, userjames3.

 

Combining the cash and accrual methods in a VAT report is currently unavailable. Cash and accrual are two methods of reporting income and expenses. You will have to choose either Cash or Accrual. 

 

You can read this article for more information: Choose between cash and accrual accounting methods in reports.

 

To get both reports, you can select the export to Excel by following these steps:

 

  1. Go to Reports on the left panel.
  2. Type the VAT report you want to run.
  3. Select the Report period and the Accounting method.
  4. Hit the Run report button.
  5. Press the Export icon and select Export to Excel.

Please see this sample screenshot for a visual reference:
