Let me help you reactivate your tax, Emma121. 

 

We can go to the Sales Tax Center to reactivate the tax code that has been inactivated. Let me show you how:

  1. Go to VAT on the left menu. 
  2. Click the Edit VAT button.
  3. Choose Edit rates
  4. Click the Gear icon, and check the box for Include inactive.
  5. Once your tax agency code shows up, click the Make active link in the far right.

 

QuickBooks Online (QBO) will update the VAT rates automatically if there are updates from the Government. You might also want to check out this article to learn more about GST/VAT rates: How do I set up sales GST/VAT rates and use them on forms? (International QBO).

 

Feel free to visit our Tax page for more insights about managing your sales taxes in QBO. 

 

Please let me know if you need clarification about this, or there's anything else I can do for you. I'll be here to help you out. Have a great day and stay safe.
