Thank you for reaching out, @dtucky. 
 

To provide an accurate resolution about deleting a duplicate VAT expense, I'd like to ask what specific error did you encounter when attempting to delete it? A screenshot would help me determine what's causing the error. 
 

In the meantime, let's troubleshoot your web browser. This unexpected behavior may be due to browser-related issues. Here's how:

 

  1. Relaunch your browser.
  2. Open your account using the private window.
  3. Clear cache.
  4. Ensure to add Intuit as a trusted site.
     

Additionally, you'll want to reconcile your account every month to ensure your accounts are always balanced and accurate. Check out this article for complete guidance: Reconcile an account in QuickBooks Online.

 

We'll be keeping an eye on your response regarding the specific error encountered when trying to delete a duplicate VAT expense. For other QBO concerns, please include them in the comments. We're here to help. Have a good one.

sorry i cant seem to do a screenshot.

 

It saysAny transactions in a VAT period marked as filed can’t be changed on the Flat Rate Scheme. If you need to update or correct something, just create a new transaction.

Thanks for getting back to us here, dtucky

 

Because of the way Making Tax Digital works on the Flat Rate Scheme, you can't edit or delete transactions in a return that has already been filed.

 

If you need to make changes, you'll need to create a journal entry to reverse the original transaction by reversing the amounts of the debits and credits.

 

You can view the journal of the duplicate transaction by opening the expense > click more on the bottom toolbar > transaction journal. 

 

To view a full demo, please see the drop-down heading How to make changes to a transaction that has already been filed in a VAT period.
