The answer given to this question is for adding the CUSTOMER'S VAT number. How does one add our COMPANY VAT number? I have checked the number is entered in the VAT Tax section - possibly this has been changed since South Africa had various problems with the VAT percentage earlier this year? My Company VAT number now does not appear on any invoices etc. Please help

Let's ensure the correct VAT is applied when creating invoices to properly reflect your company VAT number in QuickBooks Online (QBO), penny9.

Since you have entered your company VAT number in the VAT section, it will now automatically show on your invoices. You can then proceed to add it to your invoices smoothly.

Here's how:

Click the +New button.
Select Invoice.
From there, fill in the necessary information.
Ensure that the correct VAT rate associated with your Company VAT number is selected.
Once done, click Save.

I’ve attached a sample screenshot below where I have selected the correct VAT rate linked to my sample company VAT number:
