A local authority I work for has picked up on the fact that some invoices I have sent have rounded up to the nearest £. Due to the way they enter the invoices in to there system, it has rejected them. i.e. invoice amount of £584.93. VAT at £117.00 (Should Be £116.99). Anyone else found this? Whats the fix?

This has already been raised to our engineers since the system really does round off some decimals, stephen-toplis.

 

When creating invoices and sales receipts, the Rate field allows you to enter more than 3 digits. But the amount is rounded off to the nearest penny. You can override the amount when filing the VAT return. 

 

QuickBooks Online is accepted by HMRC as a valid VAT calculation engine and has passed per HMRC's testing and calculation criteria.
