How do I set the client's first VAT return to be 2 month long? when the options in VAT set up are monthly, quarterly or yearly.

Hello Kbishop-Booking

 

If you set it to quarterly if they are submitting via MTD it should automatically only open the return for 2 months long as long as that is what HMRC is expecting from them. Then the next return will show the next full quarter to then submit.

Hello Kbishop-bookkeep, 

 

Welcome to the Community page, 

 

Are your clients doing this vat return of 2 months long as a one-off or will they always be doing and submitting it to HMRC every 2 months?

Only the first return will be 2 month, after that they will be quarterly
