Hi lesley6,

 

 

There is no way to turn off taxes in QuickBooks, however there are some steps you can take so that you are no longer using VAT.

 

If you have enabled Making Tax Digital in QuickBooks you can disconnect this by going to the Gear icon > Accounts and settings > Advanced > MTD > Learn how to disconnect. 

 

In the Advanced settings > Accounting, change the Default tax rate selection to 'No VAT' to remove the VAT field from transactions when entering.

 

Your filed returns will remain on the Taxes page for reference, and the open return after de-registering will show but should have 0.00 amount as no transactions will be posting. 

 

 

Thanks :)

I have Quickbooks premier edition, desktop.  I have deregistered for VAT and need to stop QB looking for VAT info.  I do not have the 'gear ' icons mentioned in a previous response.  Please can you help.

Thanks

Hi KT16,

 

The Gear icon mentioned by my colleague @GeorgiaC is only available in the online version. In the desktop version, you can turn off your sales tax from the preferences. Let me walk you through the steps.

  1. Click Edit.
  2. Click Preferences.
  3. Click Sales Tax. Then, click the Company Preferences tab.
  4. Click No in the Do you charge sales tax? section.
  5. Click OK.

You can refer to this article for more information about sales tax: Set up sales tax in QuickBooks Desktop.
