What can I do if I don't have an MTD section under advanced settings? I'd like to authorize QB to interact with HMRC, but I don't seem to have this option.

Hi @adrienn-bors,

Let me lend you a hand so you can authorise QuickBooks Online (QBO) to interact with HMRC.

You have another way to enable MTD other than the Advanced tab in the Account and Settings page. Here are the steps:

1. Go to the Taxes tab.
2. Under the VAT tab, click the Edit VAT drop-down menu then select Edit settings.
3. You'll find a toggle switch labelled Turn on MTD. Click this to start your MTD setup.

In case you also don't have this option, try these steps:

1. Clear your browser's cache.
2. Open your browser's private window:
   • Google Chrome: Ctrl + Shift + N
   • Mozilla Firefox: Ctrl + Shift + P
   • Internet Explorer: Ctrl + Shift + P
   • Safari: Command + Shift + N
3. Try a different browser if possible, to see if that works for you.

If ever you still don't see the MTD option at this point, I suggest checking if your QBO company is for the UK region, and not for a different region. Another thing to check would be the home currency of the company. MTD in QBO currently supports GBP exclusively. Anyone of these two things I mentioned being true, then that would explain why you don't have this option available.

Detailed steps on how you can authorise QBO to interact with HRMC are found in this article: Authorise QuickBooks to interact with HMRC - MTD for small businesses. The steps listed in this article are coupled with pictures for easy reference.

I'll be around should you still need further assistance. Leave a question below, and I'll get back to you as soon as I can.
