Question

How to apply reverse charge VAT on my expenses / purchases

I'm completely new to all this, so still trying to find my way around. I need to apply reverse charge VAT on some of my expenses/receipts. I've been into the 'Taxes' section, been into the 'Edit VAT' and 'Edit Rates' section - toggled on the reverse charge option, but I can't get the option to appear in the dropdown when I'm reviewing a receipt.

Is there something else I have to do to get it to appear?

All the help seems to refer to the construction industry in relation to reverse charge - but I'm not construction industry, so I'm just a bit lost!

Hello, DPCO101.

 

I'll walk you through some troubleshooting steps to ensure that the reverse charge VAT appears on your expenses and purchases.

 

You may encounter delays when activating the reverse charge VAT in QuickBooks Online. This could be due to a number of factors, such as cache issues or a poor internet connection. Let's try turning it off and go out of the page. Then, go back in and turn it on again.

 

Here's how:

 

  1. Go to the Taxes menu.
  2. Select Edit VAT, then Edit Rates.
  3. Locate the reverse charge VAT and toggle it off.
  4. Exit the page, and go back in. 
  5. Then, turn it back on.

 

After that, you can check the expenses/purchases to see if the reverse charge VAT codes show up. If the issue persist, you can access your account using a private/incognito window. This mode help fix some cache issue since it doesn't store any site data.

 

You can use the following shortcut keys below:

 

  • Chrome: Ctrl + Shift + N
  • Firefox: Ctrl + Shift + P
  • Safari: Command + Shift + N

 

If it works this time, you can clear the cache to remove outdated data stored on your browser. Alternatively, try using a different supported browsers.

 

Furthermore, I've included this article to help you create custom tax rates in the future: Create custom tax rate.
