Blocked from submitting vat return

Let's figure out the cause of the submitting VAT return issue and fix it to keep you going with your task, Tony.

If you get an error message when submitting a return, we have a way to fix it. You can check out this article on how to fix them: Fix MTD issues and errors in QuickBooks Online. Once done, submit the return again. Here's how:

1. Go to Taxes, then select VAT.
2. Select the Returns tab.
3. Next to the VAT return you need to submit, select Prepare return. Then, select Error check your return from the dropdown options to check that everything on your return is posted correctly.
4. When you're ready, tap Submit to HMRC.
5. Tick the I declare the information is true and complete checkbox.
6. Select Submit to HMRC. Wait until you see the confirmation message and don't close this page until the receipt confirmation shows.
7. Once HMRC accepts the submission, press Done.

That's it! When you submit a return to HMRC, you'll receive an email confirmation containing details about your submission and VAT return. For more details on this one, refer to this article: Submit a VAT return to HMRC using MTD in QuickBooks Online.

If everything's fine, you can run some VAT-related reports to keep track of all your returns. To achieve this, go to the Taxes menu, and then select the desired report from the View reports drop-down.

I've got your back if you have some follow-up questions about managing your VAT in QuickBooks. You have a good one.
