The cost of sales vat is a lot higher than I have invoiced. Anyone know why this may be?

Hello, sam47.

I'm here to help and share with you some information regarding sales vat in QuickBooks Online.

You may want to check the VAT used when you processed the invoices, ensure that you're using the correct VAT codes and rates. You can pull up and run the VAT Detail Report to show all the invoices with VAT.

Here's how:

1. Click Reports in the left panel.
2. Search for VAT Detail Report.

Also, ensure you did not accidentally hit the Adjust button when you processed the VAT return.
