Question

How do I set up my client's first VAT return when he has to account for a long period of 10 months?

The available options seem to be fixed periods.

Hello Chris-brettpittw, 

 

Welcome to the Community page, 

 

All you need to do is set the VAT up as normal for the client in the settings for the VAT account, and then QuickBooks will set the period according to the obligations sent by HMRC. So if HMRC are expecting 10 months it will set it to 10 months for you to then submit the return.

I think that would apply under MTD, but how about if this is not being submitted under MTD?

Hello Chris,  it is not possible to submit VAT without using MTD in Quickbooks, as HMRC have now blocked all 3rd party non MTD submissions. If you just need to record the submissions in Quickbooks, you can manually alter the date range when MTD is not connected in Quickbooks.
