Making Tax Digital

Help! Working in Quickbooks Desktop. When I go to file my VAT MTD it is showing my previous retunr as needign to be filed - but it has been filed and paid. If i look at "previous VAT returns it shows all of them correctly, it just seems that this step is showing as not being submitted - but it has. This is them affecting my amount due for the tax return I am trying to send. How can I alter the status of the previous vat return to submitted?

Hi I've been trying to file for the first time with the new system. I've logged in with our new gateway details (we had to re-register) and tried to file. I keep getting the error messages below: "Please check your VAT registration number"  then "Please check the VAT registration number and try login again" I've tried our VAT number with and without the GB, with spaces and without but nothing seems to work.  Has anyone else had this issue and resolved it please? Thanks Louise

Hi  I've been reading the recently released HMRC consultation documents relating to Corporation Tax.  As you would expect, it states that ltd companies will need to submit their CT returns via compatible software when this comes on stream (though this isn't until 2026) . I know that XERO now offer CT filing and so will be ready to respond to this, and so my question is do Quickbooks have plans to also create a CT module that will deliver MTD CT?

Last qtr 2020 gave a refund on vat ,all journals seem to be in place but presume vat codes missing somewhere, which for some reason shows the box 5 refund amount as unassigned ,how can I put this right ?

I have been submitting my VAT returns using the QuickBooks bridging software but have now got all my accounts set up on QuickBooks so I'm ready to submit my first return fully through QuickBooks. On the VAT page it says I need to take action to reconnect to HMRC and authorise QuickBooks as an agent but when I try to do that, every time  I click the button that says Grant Authority it returns this message: An unexpected error occurred. Please ensure that you are making a valid request and try again later. and then boots me back to the start of the process again. I've tried disconnecting and reconnecting as per the advice in the help and support section but it still does it.

Does anyone know when Quick-books will be MTD compatible for Income Tax? 

Hi  Is there a reason that QB is asking us to reconnect with HMRC when we have been doing so since MTD started. Does this mean we have to go through the whole process again 

I was having problems trying to submit my latest VAT return, getting the error message about the body tags not being correct or something like that. I have been filing online for years so I do not know what the issue was with this attempt. Anyway, after a few attempts and getting the same outcome I stupidly selected the option to file a paper return. After hitting this option I then had the realisation that this isn't possible anymore... (I don't know why you have the option to do this). Is there a way to unfile this in QB Desktop 2020 so that I can try to file it correctly again?

I have the message "Cannot connect to HMRC right now".  I have signed up for MTD.  I have a confirmation email saying I am enrolled.  The VAT number in QB is the correct VAT number.  What else can I do?

Hi,I have used the bridging software for 19/20 and transferred my spreadsheet output for the VAT 100 generated by my Desktop QB since MTD started. 20/21 we are fully over to the online QB and invoices and payments for the early part of 19 have been copied across. I am left now with a VAT exception item for each invoice entered since 1st April. This results in a large unfiled VAT amount. I have tried adjusting but the adjustment is applied to the current VAT not the incorrect exception.

Hi I am working on submitting my VAT return. On my VAT return, the "tax point" for all my sales and purchases is the date of the invoice, not the date on which I pay the invoice or receive payment. I am on the most basic quickbooks online and it seems I can only record expenses that have been paid. How do I get MTD VAT on quickbooks to recognise the invoice date of expenses rather than the payment date so that the expenses full within the correct VAT return period? Thanks

I have two customers (one inparticular) that is very discreet about their work - for the record, not from an illegal POVWhen filing a VAT return through MTD what information does HMRC actually receive, is it a list of all transactions or is it just the VAT return itself ?

Being a new customer which has been registered with HMRC I am not sure what I need to do when I get into the account how I go about making entries for my October invoices

After a long call to the Intuit Help Desk yesterday (and they were very helpful) I now have the correct VAT Return ready to file.  However, I am getting an authentication error when trying to file the VAT Return with HMRC.  The credentials I'm using are correct (username/password) as I am able to log in directly to HMRC. What can be the cause of this? Thank you, Sarah
