Thanks for visiting our forum and letting us know about your VAT concern, @diraj-hiwayhifi-,

 

The VAT field on bills is default when your QuickBooks Online account is enabled for VAT filing to HMRC. If you're unable to see this option, given that the tax feature is already set up, try signing in to a private window and see if it works there.

 

Use any of the following shortcuts to launch a private browser:

 

Google Chrome: press Ctrl Shift N  
Mozilla Firefox: press Ctrl Shift P
Safari: press Command Shift N

 

Once done, process the supplier's invoice through the + New icon then Bill. You will see the VAT column beside the Amount. See this:

 

If you're still unable to see it, let's go back and check your VAT setup in the Accounts and Settings page. Here's how:

 

  1. Click the Gear icon and select Accounts and Settings.
  2. In the Advanced menu, click Accounting.
  3. Double-check if the Default tax rate selection drop-down shows No VAT.
  4. If it does, change it to Exclusive of Tax or Inclusive of Tax.
  5. Hit Save and then Done.
