I'm struggling with how to record my expenses. My bank feed is linked etc, but I'm wondering if there is an easy way to decide which account the different transactions should go under?I'm currently looking at my HMRC payment that was made to deduct CIS from my subbies. I think this will go under either CIS withheld (current liabilities accounts) or CIS withheld owed to HMRC (also current liabilities account) but how can I be sure? Many thanks

Hello. For the last 3 weeks we've found it impossible to connect our QB online with our HMRC MTD account. Today my partner spent some time on the phone to Quickbooks support regarding the connection issues, only to discover a more fundamental issue. Apparently QB does not support ANNUAL submissions to HMRC at this time using the digital tax system!?! Previously we've submitted yearly tax returns manually, but this is no longer an option due to the whole MTD changes. This is obviously a big problem for us if true. The support chap told my partner that bridging software wouldn't work and that our best bet is to chop our yearly return into quarters and submit them. However, that means we'd have to get HMRC to adjust the date range(s) they're expecting to see as our submissions may get rejected otherwise. Any advice / solutions would be gratefully received.

Hi,Thanks for your reply. I've looked at the reference material and it appears to be US relevant rather than UK. I've tried importing the documents in the manner that it suggest and it won't work and as you know the error messages are mostly meaningless so I have reverted to randomly trying different data formats to import. The main issue still resolves around VAT as follows: 1) The VAT fields don't appear to exist in the IIF file format any longer;2) The IIF process will default all SPL lines to the default tax code for the supplier which is not correct in the UK as we have several VAT rates that could be used by the same supplier;3) The only way I could get an IIF Bill to import is to upload an out of balance Bill (Total Value and SPL value(s) without a balancing line which would be a bit of a challenge if there were a genuine out of balance occurring in an IIF file as almost all Bills wouldn't balance. In relation to this I also found that:a) QuickBooks is calculating the

HiI am relatively new to Quickbooks Online. I currently pay my Virgin Media bill (Broadband and Phone) from my Personal current account.  These services are used for both Personal and Business use, I then put a percentage through as Business expense.Am I correct in thinking I need to add this as a Journal entry with a debit on Line 1 for the business proportion and a credit on Line 2 for the same amount to show under Owners Equity?Do I need to physically reimburse my Private bank account, I don't need to be reimbursed.  Can I leave it at that?  Thank you.

This Posted on Trustpilot tonight.Got to be the worst company in the world to deal with when you complain.Have used them for years, and have a support package for a monthly subscription on Desktop Pro with Payroll.Today I reconciled my bank statements and found that for four months they have been charging me twice every month, for the same package. I call them and get all sorts of rubbish relating to "the bank being at fault", when I know that Intuit have duplicated my subscription, ie running two subscriptions for one sole trader for the same package. Would I really want that I tell them? They ignore that statement time and again, they keep listening to me explaining their error, but then keep on repeating and insisting that I go to my bank, iaw the direct debit protection rules. I keep explaining that the bank have received two separate mandates from Intuit, and so intuit are in error. They refuse to do anything and when I get more and more exasperated with them they very stupidly as

I have added previous Pay and Tax figures to a couple of employees from their P45s - their previous employers paid them a bonus after leaving - when I run their payslips for the current month the tax deduction figures are correct as they are both due to tax a tax refund as their bonus was taxed at the higher rate  - but it does not include  the P45 figures on their payslips for the current year - but it does show their reduced tax figures - which makes their figures look incorrect - can anyone help please

How does Quickbooks determine what are allowable expenses?  I have some purchases that show up on my tax summary as allowable but then others that are for similar or the same purpose ie business insurance policies and they have been classed a disallowable? Is there an article on what is allowable and how to override Quickbooks if they have incorrectly marked it as disallowable? Sorry I have looked but can't find a clear answer.  

We are just in the process of migrating to Quickbooks online and setting up CSV invoice imports. In the main this is working well and I've got all key fields mapped correctly. Is it possible to also import Customer Invoice Email Address, Shipping Date and Sales Order?And if so, what do I need to name the headers?Also, how can I tell the importer that our date format is always D/MM/YYYY and that our prices are always exclusive of tax. Having to manually set those every time we do an import is slightly annoying.

I have correctly assigned car parking receipts to 'car, van and travel' expenses, Box 20.  But my self-assessment summary shows them as disallowable, which is wrong.  And i can't see how to change it.  Can anyone help?

Hello,  The Quickbooks Online that I have now started to input data on has several old invoices outstanding.  I can only assume that the customer did not pay and they had not been chased. Some of these invoices go back a fair way. Year ends etc. have been completed by an accountant. The business is VAT registered.  The question is that if the business excepts that the invoice will not be paid should we:- Leave it on the account- Delete it - Do a credit to be offset against it How would this effect the business and the VAT element of doing these options? Thank you

I have set up bolt to handle Stripe payments. In chart of accounts I have a Stripe account and a credit card charge account (expenses - finance costs).

A bit of help needed here for a small pub in North Devon. One of my staff is due to start maternity leave in a month or so. Since my PAYE and NI payments are quite small I have requested and received advance funding for the whole 39 weeks. Can someone advise me on how to account for this quite large sum of money?

Hi,I have a client who wants to pay me via corporate credit card, I've looked about and my best solution is to use Business Paypal.Reading online I see Quickbooks can integrate with Paypal Business. Great news aye.But I can't seem to find out how I do so with the Quickbooks Self Employed account, only Quickbooks online.So What is the difference with the two, and how can I move over to online if thats my best option?The other alt is to simply send the invoice direct from PP Business.Thanks in advance
