Hi @maria-hutchinson,

 

I've got your back on this question about VAT in QuickBooks Online (QBO).

 

When you enable VAT in QBO, you're no longer able to turn it off. Since you mentioned that you aren't VAT registered and won't be using any VAT on your transactions, you can change the default tax rate to No VAT.

 

Here's how:

 

  1. Go to the Gear icon.
  2. Select Account and settings
  3. Click the Advanced tab.
  4. Tap the Accounting section.
  5. Search for Default tax rate selection, then set it to No VAT.

Take a look at this page to see a list of articles intended for new users of QBO: Getting Started for QuickBooks Online

 

Let me know if you need further by posting a comment below. I'll get back to you as soon as I can.
