Question

I'm not vat registered but have recorded vat for every statement line when reconciling - is there a way to change everything to 0 rated in bulk?

Xero has a find and recode option to easily change the tax code on transactions in bulk, does quickbooks have a similar feature? The prospect of redoing every single line one at a time is not an exciting one.

Thanks for posting here, @accounts-blackwo. Let me provide some info on how VAT works in QuickBooks.

 

I can see how it would be helpful for you and your business to have a find and recode option to change the tax code on transactions in bulk easily. Currently, you can only record VAT for every statement line.

 

If you have an accountant, you can use the option to reclassify transactions in bulk is available with a QuickBooks Online Accountant account. This tool can be used through their account to reclassify multiple transactions at once for their clients.

 

At times, we roll out enhancements also based on our customer's requests. That being said, I suggest sending a recommendation to our product developers. They'll review this idea and might consider updating it in the future.

 

Here's how:

 

  1. Go to the Gear located at the top.
  2. Under Profile, click Feedback.
  3. Enter your recommendation and select Submit.

 

Additionally, you can also review these articles to help you handle and file VAT returns:

 

 

Keep me posted if you have other questions about recording VAT in QuickBooks. I'll be happy to help you again. Stay safe!
