Hi Im trying to prepare my first vat return for quarter Aug 1st to Oct 31st but the return report has an end date of 30th November Why how do i set and fix the end

Hello @AngusSL,

You can modify the end date of your return when preparing it before submission. Let me show you how.

1. Go to Taxes.
2. Select VAT.
3. Under Open returns, select the return you wanted to submit.
4. Below the ACTION column, select Prepare return.
5. Enter your desired end date.
6. Click Submit.

Learn more about what you need to prepare before you submit your return with this article: Submit a VAT return in QuickBooks Online.

Additionally, I've also included this article for the steps in recording a payment or refund for your return: Vat Payment or Refund.

If there's anything else that I can help you with, please let me know in the comments below. Stay safe!
