how to add vat to an expense paid into a personal account without reimbursing so it appears in the VAT Return

Hi there,@PMJ Maintenance. I'm here to help you with your concerns.
 

To add VAT to an expense paid into a personal account without reimbursing it, you can follow these steps:

1. Create an expense transaction specifying the details of the expense.
2. Within the expense transaction, add the appropriate VAT amount to the expense by selecting the VAT code or rate that applies.
3. Ensure that the bank account used for this transaction is set as "personal" or create a separate bank account specifically designated for personal expenses.
4. Save the expense transaction.

I'm also adding these helpful resources that you can check in case you're ready to make liability payments:

• Submit a MTD for VAT return to HMRC in QuickBooks Online
• File your VAT return and record tax payments in QuickBooks Online

Keep in touch for any additional concerns you have about handling taxes in QuickBooks. I'm always glad to be of help. Have a good weekend, and keep safe!
