I have recently registered for VAT, and am awaiting HMRC to finish processing my application.  Whilst waiting, I want to get my accounts prepared for my first return.  However I can't get past the "enter your VAT registration number".  I want to get the figures into the system and also explore how it all works. Does anyone know how this can be done, or if there is a workaround?

Good day, RCJ58.

 

An entry in the VAT registration number field is require to complete your VAT setup in QBO. 

 

Sine you're still waiting for the application to be finished, you can use a dummy VAT number or type in 0 in the VAT registration number field just to get past that page. Then, edit it once you receive our VAT registration number from HMRC. Here's how:

 

  1. Go to the Taxes menu and proceed to the VAT tab. 
  2. Click Edit VAT, then select Edit settings. 
  3. Go to the VAT registration number field and edit the information.
  4. Click Save.
