Hi, I've been trying to submit my VAT Return all morning, cant access, just a green circle/timer?

Glad to have you here in the Community, @bracknbarn.

Let's perform some troubleshooting steps so you can submit your VAT return successfully.

There are times that the browser is full of frequently-accessed page resources, thus causing websites, like QuickBooks Online (QBO), to act weirdly. Let's try logging into your QBO account using a private browser. 

To use a private browser, here's how:  

• Google Chrome: Ctrl + Shift + N
• Internet Explorer: Ctrl + Shift + P
• Mozilla Firefox: Ctrl + Shift + P
• Safari: Command + Option + P

Once logged in, go back and try to submit your VAT return again to double-check. You can check out this article for more guidance: Submit a VAT Return in QuickBooks.

If this works, it means that you need to clear your browser's cache so the system can start fresh.  

If you get the same result while using a private browser, I recommend switching to a different browser. 

In case you might want to edit VAT settings, codes, and rates in the future, you can read this article for more information: Set up and Edit VAT Settings, VAT Codes, and VAT Rates.

Please know that you can always get back to this post in you have any other questions. We're always here to help.
