VAT

On the new update app I can't find how to add vat like the last version any help

This very question has been asked 4 years ago but the link to the answer is not found. I run Desktop Premier 2013 and the print/email invoices and purchase orders works fine but printing a prior VAT return, gives an error message saying "You need PDF software  to view and print this reconcilation report. Adobe Reader is a free pdf viewer available for download"  - I already have Adobe installed and works fine with printing Bank Reconciliation reports. What has gone wrong and can I get a patch or a link to get this up and running again? If there is anyone out there that can help it would be appreciated.  

I have received a letter from HMRC this week stating that because I have been submitting VAT returns using XML in the past, that from 8th April 2021 this will cease to be possible. As I have always been using the VAT return submission routine in QB Desktop (current installation is QB Desktop 2020), I don't see why this should be. Is this a potential issue that will be addressed by a future update to QB2020, or is this something that the developers will need to address as a matter of urgency?

Original commenter did not share additional details

I tried following the link to go through the troubleshooting steps but I just keep getting an error code, I suspect it maybe due to having been registered before with a different number but I need QB to see the new one so I can use the MTD function which Also can't use at the moment, please help.

Hi, do previous HMRC VAT payments go on the VAT return under expense (box7)? thanks

There are 2 codes 20% RC CIS and 5% RC CISIf I am right, the 20% RC CIS accounts for sales where 20% VAT standard rate applies and the sale comes under the CIS regulations (20% retained of the labour element).It follows that 5% RC CIS is for sales where 5% VAT reduced rate applies and again the labour element sees 20% retained.We have a product which we install and this qualifies for a temporary zero rate of VAT and for some customers CIS applies.There isn't a 0% RC CIS code or have I missed something. How do I build one from the VAT rates page?

I am preparing a VAT return with is showing some exceptions on sales made over 12 months ago (with VAT at 20%), which at the time were correctly submitted on the return and VAT calculated. The exception also includes a sale for the exactly the amount / customer but on a sale and transaction that never happened.  I mistakenly corrected that date back 12 months. How can I check what has happened to those sales (possible adjustments etc) to make them now appear as adjustments, or how can I check they had VAT calculated / paid at the time on the return?

Hi,I am new to this forum and also new to VAT return filing. The first quarter of VAT return filing went very well all ok and I manage to submit to HMRC.   and the next quarter did the same way on all the expenses bills,but I have an issue with the VAT return,The total VAT claim for this quarter is £169, No VAT on sales, so its pretty simple only one expense.After recording all the expenses QB online is showing only £15.67 are claimable.

I have set up all MY VAT however I'm showing as a negative balance  when "preparing Report for VAT" im on the FRS 8.5%  - so all sales have 8.5% added to my VAT balance ( correct ) my problem right at the bottom  gain/loss  - negative . i have noticed some transactions for expenses have 20%  applied to it which i think where the problem laysbecause i cant claim back VAT ( being on FRS ) should all my expenses be 0% VAT paid , as i cant claim this back anyways ? or I'm i required to put 20% as i technically paid 20% on that expense i know this is the culprit , as if i go to a large transaction, and make the 20% vat, 0% - it reduces the negative balance. however i cannot work out how to make the 20% transactions in the past 0% - only the rules for the future transactions could anyone shed some light please ? 

every time I try to enter a value in 0.00 column its taking me to the Adjust page.  This has never happened before and the quick books assistant doesnt seem to help.  Any ideas ?Thanks.

Hi I'm struggling to change vat from 20% to 5% before adding bank transactions for the same payee. The job in question is eligible for 5% and I can't change it without changing every other payment that is 20%!

why are my Vat payments to hmrc not showing as expenses on my self assessment

QBO Plus UK version. I have a question on Corporation Tax charge. If one wants to pass a provision for tax adjustment what sort of account does one create for the Corp Tax charge? It should be such that the P&L should show Net Profit before Tax and then Tax charge shown separately and then Net Profit after Tax. It must be in the conventional accounting presentation mode. Currently it seems the above cannot be done cleanly. Close one can come up to is to park the Corp Tax A/c under Other Expenses. There should be a better way! Help!

Hoping someone can help as I cant work this out.I have a client who pays HMRC monthly a payment on account. These monthly payments are entered as an expense to taxes prepaid, under prepayments.My question is how do i move these payments from prepayments to the Vat quarter it needs to be allocated against. I dont want to just delete them and re-enter them in the taxes record payment if there is another way.I have tried to journal them to the correct tax account but it doesnt allocate correctly and the vat balance still shows that same amount as owing. 

Hello, our business can only claim back 38% of any VAT we are charged. This causes a problem with quickbooks as there is no easy way for the amount to be tracked using quickbooks.  So we have to use a spreadsheet and upload the figures like that. Has anyone got any ideas as to whether I can get quickbooks to code 38% of 20% VAT on purchases? Thank you!

Can someone clarify this for me…QBO AdvancedWe run VAT on a Cash BasisWe are filing the VAT return for November and December. A September dated customer invoice was paid in November and discounted.  It is showing on both the Exception Report and also in the Sales VAT report (ie twice).  Is this an error?I contacted QBO support and they said it’s because it’s a filed transaction (which it isn’t) and wanted to talk me through undoing the Sep/Oct Return?  Surely this isn’t correct?Any help would be appreciated as I am in doubt. Many thanks

Why does QuickBooks Self Employed include car hire payments and fuel costs in 'DISALLOWABLE EXPENSES' for a driving school vehicle? These are valid expenses and are included by my accountant when preparing my tax return yet QuickBooks Self Employed excludes them???
