Please help in activating vat on expenses.

Let me share some troubleshooting steps to help you account for VAT when capturing expense invoices, @FBR2.

When capturing an expense invoice, QuickBooks extracts info from it and creates a transaction for you to review. Then, you can edit and add it to an account or match it to an existing transaction in the Receipts tab.

Since there isn't an option to account for VAT on your invoice, I'd suggest checking your VAT settings and ensuring that they're set up correctly. Additionally, you can review your Quote template in the Custom form styles and make sure that the VAT columns are checked, so the correct tax amount will be displayed when printing supplier transactions.

However, if your VAT settings are set up correctly, I suggest accessing your account through a private window to narrow down the result. You can use either of these keyboard shortcuts to save you time:

1. Log in to your QuickBooks Online account in a private browser.
2. Google Chrome and Safari: Ctrl + Shift + N
3. Mozilla Firefox and Microsoft Edge: Ctrl + Shift + P
4. Clear the cache of your regular browser. This helps remove any browser-related issues and refresh your browser's settings.
5. Alternatively, use other compatible browsers in QuickBooks Online.
