Question

Sizing of "VAT Set Up Wizard" pop out screen

Hoping someone can help solve my problem.

 

The Irish government has recently introduced a temporary reduction in the standard rate of VAT from 23% to 21%. I'm trying to change the VAT rate % in QB Desktop. From the 'Manage VAT' screen I've selected 'Change VAT Setup' and a pop-up window appears with the 'VAT Set Up Wizard'.

 

The option I want is here 'Change an existing VAT rate' however the little pop up screen is very small and the options to select and edit the data I want are not visible. There's no way I can see to resize the screen or to scroll across to see the information I need. How can I fix this or it there another way for me to edit the VAT rates?

I can help you resize the screen, @LCronin.

 

To resolve this, let’s run the Verify and rebuild tools. The Verify Data will identify any data issues within your company file that's causing your pop-up screen to be that very small. Then, the Rebuild tool will self-resolve it. 

 

Check the steps below:

 

Verify data:

  1. Go to File, then Utilities and choose Verify Data.

If it will detect an error, proceed and Rebuild your data:

  1. Go back to the File menu and then Utilities and select Rebuild Data.
  2. Choose OK if you’ll receive a message to back-up your company file.
  3. After creating the back-up file, the Rebuild Data utility will run automatically.
  4. Click OK when you get the message Rebuild has completed.
