Question

Sales Tax liability report client from Malta

I have a customer from Malta which keeps getting to the sales tax liability report under the state where my company is registered at. This happens to every vendor whose ship to address is unclear to QBO. After several tries I realized how to type every country correctly so QBO recognizes it (for example "UK" instead of "United Kingdom"). But as for Malta - noting seems to be working. I tried all possible names like "The Republic of Malta", "Republic of Malta", "Malta" etc. This is really concerning because I file sales tax for this default state where Malta's client keeps getting to and it messes up my Gross Total and Non-Taxable numbers in the report.

Hello there, @oksanaa. 

 

Let's ensure that you correctly set up your vendor's address so that when you pull up the Sales Tax Liability report it will not be under the state where your company is registered. Let me guide you on how:

 

  1. Go to the Expenses menu.
  2. Click Vendors.
  3. Double-click the name of the vendor, then select Edit.
  4. In the address column, click the preview address to open a Google map. Then ensure, that the location you've pinned is correct and update it if necessary.
  5. You can also use the MLTA as an acronym if the issue persists.

 

Also, when you edit the vendor's address, the changes should apply to their open bills, existing transactions, and reports. To check if the browser is already full of frequently accessed page resources (cache and cookies) causing this unusual response, let's sign in to your QBO using a private browser (incognito).

 

Here's how:

 

  • Press Ctrl + Shift + N (Google Chrome).
  • Ctrl + Shift + P (Firefox).
  • Control + Option + P (Safari).

 

Then, run the report again, if everything looks good, return to your default browser and perform a clear cache to refresh the system. However, if the issue persists, try using other supported browsers.

 

However, if the issue persists even after trying the troubleshooting steps mentioned above, I would recommend getting in touch with our Support Team. They can review and check your vendor's setup to ensure that the address is not under any restrictions in your state. To reach them, follow this article: How and when can I contact QuickBooks Online support?
