How to change the start and end date of a VAT period

Hi Team,

 

May client was recently registered for VAT and her first VAT return is for the period 25 March 2021 to 30 April 2021. Then the following returns will be quarterly.

 

If I select "March" from Start calculating my VAT from dropdown and choose quarterly for the frequency, QuickBooks will automatically show the VAT period 01 March 2021 to 31 May 2021. However as mentioned, my client's VAT period is different from that. Please can you kindly advise how to specifically select the start and end date of VAT period. Thank you.

Hello Jan0821, Thanks for your question. Is this client on MTD? If so then when you connect to MTD in QuickBooks HMRC will send obligations for the dates that should be filed so if it is 25/03/21 to 30/04/21 then QuickBooks will reflect that. If it is not on MTD you can select the quarterly in the settings and then go to taxes and prepare return for that period and go to the end date and change it to suit what you need.
