Question

VAT on receipts

I'm new to quickbooks and having trouble with receipts. So when I take a photo of a receipt for materials that I have brought, they already include VAT. When I then upload it, quickbooks then adds another 20% ontop, adding VAT onto a reciept that already includes VAT. How do I change this?

 

Many thanks

Hello there, @Benji88.

 

When you snap receipts in QuickBooks Self-Employed, it scans the receipt and enters the details for you. Once done uploading, you can correct the data so it won't add the VAT of 20%.

 

Here's how:

  1. On your QBSE account, go to the Transactions menu.
  2. Choose the Unreviewed tab.
  3. Locate the receipt.
  4. Select the scanned receipt and categorise. 
  5. If you see a Needs action message, choose it to review your transaction. 
  6. Correct any details and select Save.

 

For more details about the scan receipt feature, see this article: Record or attach expense receipts in QuickBooks Self-Employed.
