    You can add VAT to your existing QuickBooks account by setting it up in the Taxes section, themarket.

     

    To get started, please ensure you have the following information ready:

     

    • Your 9-digit VAT registration number
    • Your VAT accounting scheme
    • Your VAT filing frequency (monthly, quarterly, or annually)
    • Your accounting method (cash or accrual)

     

    Once you're ready, follow these steps:

     

    1. Log in to your QuickBooks account.
    2. Go to Taxes, then select VAT.
    3. Click the Set up VAT button. 
    4. Then, select the month you need to start calculating VAT from and choose the appropriate filling frequency. 
    5. Choose your VAT accounting scheme. 
      • You can select Standard if you record transactions when invoices are sent or bills are received, regardless of payment.
      • You can select Cash if you record transactions only when payment is received.
    6. Enter your VAT registration number. 
    7. Once done, click Next and OK.
