Thanks for the quick reply.

I understand that I can do the VAT on quick books but I want to know if I can do the VAT on QuickBooks but DO NOT send to HRMC.

basically like a test run along side my current software.

Thanks for getting back here in the Community, @andrew46.

When creating transactions with VAT, submitting a Tax Return isn't automatic. That being said, you can make a test run without sending them to HMRC.

Please check out the Submit a VAT return in QuickBooks article. It contains detailed instructions and screenshots on how you submit them through the system (scroll down to Submit a VAT Return to HMRC).

Also, I recommend exploring QuickBooks Online using our test drive. Please bookmark the following link for future reference:
