I have just set up a new account with quickbooks to take advantage of their 90% off offer, my current vat window is 1/2/2025 - 30/04/2025 however my old account ended 13/04/2025 so my question is if i submit my vat return through the old account and the new one will HMRC merge this into one return or am I better doing this return manually and adding all the numbers from account 1 to account 2 when its time to file?

 

I hope that all makes sense, Thankyou.

Hello there, @C T12.
 

To address your concern about handling VAT returns from your two accounts (old and new), you can use bridging software that acts as a connector, bringing together separate pieces of data into a unified format suitable for VAT filing purposes.
 

To begin, instead of submitting separate VAT returns for each account to HMRC, which does not merge them automatically, it's advisable to consolidate the transactions manually. Accumulate all relevant financial data from both accounts into a single return. You can do this manually or use bridging software, especially since separate submissions could lead to complications or errors in processing by HMRC.
 

Note: I highly suggest to consult with an accountant to ensure your VAT return is correctly prepared.
