Hi I've submitted a VAT return but it doesn't appear to have been paid. Any Ideas?

Let's get your payment recorded, stuartpring.

When you mark your VAT return as filed, QuickBooks Online automatically creates a VAT due. If you've paid the liability to HMRC, you can record the VAT payment by following these steps:

1. On the left panel click Taxes, and click the Returns tab.
2. Under Filed returns, click the Record payment link.
3. Select the bank account you've used to pay HMRC.
4. Choose the Payment Type, and enter the Payment Date and Payment amount.
5. Add a Memo if needed.
6. Click Save.

Once recorded, a transaction will be created on your books which you can match from your bank feed.
