Hey there, @alison_roper.

 

I'm here to help share some information about the VAT fuel scale charge in QuickBooks Online and get you pointed in the right direction.

 

In QuickBooks Online, a business can choose to apply the VAT fuel scale charge. This adds back a fixed amount, per VAT period to account for the private consumption of fuel. The scale charge is calculated according to a car’s CO2 emissions and the fixed charge is added to output VAT, on the VAT return.

 

To account for the VAT Fuel Scale, charge it'd be best to consult your accountant to ensure the best course of action for your business. 

 

Additionally, you may also check out the UK VAT registration thresholds for your reference. 

 

You can always post again if you have any other concerns with QuickBooks. I'm always around to help. Have a pleasant day ahead!
