The VAT gateway credentials are entered within the VAT settings on the Taxes page, and the payroll gateway credentials are entered within the payroll settings so there can be two gateways linked 🙂
Once you have enabled the MTD in QuickBooks Online, you'll get the option to enter the Government Gateway ID's for VAT.
One way enable this is by going to Taxes on the left navigation and select Let's go. If you have dismissed this option, you can follow the steps below:
Click on the Gear icon, then Account and Settings.
In the Accounts and Settings page, select Advanced on the left menu.
Then, select the Making Tax Digital header to expand the section. Click on Learn how to connect.
On the Get started with digital tax page, click on Let's go.
I know that you're already familiar with the steps on how to enter the Gateway credentials in payroll settings. But let me share this in case you need it.
Here's how:
Go to the Gear icon and choose Account and settings.
Click the Payroll tab.
From the Online filing with HMRC, click the edit icon to enter your gateway credentials.
Fill in your Gateway user ID, Gateway password and other necessary information.
