Reconcile payment of VAT

I submitted a VAT return through QBO, recording and making the payment to HMRC. In Taxes>Paid Returns the amount is shown as Paid and the return is shown in Paid returns.  So QBO appears to know that I've made the paymenty. The payment has appeared in my Banking 'for review'. On the 'for review' list is an option to 'transfer'. When I click on the item in the review list it opens up the option to 'Add' the transaction. How should I treat this in my Banking review?   It seems to me it would be logical to be able to match the payment to my VAT return, if anything, but this is not an option - it seems I must 'add' or 'transfer' it. If I 'transfer' it, which account should I select as the 'transfer account'? Thanks

Unable to submitt my vat return with a spreadsheet

No text available

Hello, I've recently changed from quickbooks from sage and I'm a bit confused about having a VAT code for a nominal account. Can anyone explain how that works? For example, if I were to assign the 20% tax code to auto expenses but then received an invoice for an MOT, which is exempt from VAT, what would happen?

Google G-Suite VAT type?

Hi, Sorry im new to VAT and require some advice on which VAT type i should use. The Invoice was sent by Google Ireland for G-Suite Service.   The Invoice shows 0% VAT  but below this is a line of text statating : "Services subject to the reverse charge - VAT to be accounted for by the recipient as per Article 196 of Council Directive 2006/112/EC" Can i zero VAT the Invoice? Thanks Chris  

So, we have just started a small business a few months ago, not the best timing as it would turn out. My problem is this, we have just imported some goods from Germany, we are UK based, and VAT registered. I have in my hand the invoice from the supplier, and I am at a complete loss. I have scoured the internet and cannot find a step by step tutorial anywhere that talks you through the process. I have added on my 20% ECG to my VAT options, and obviously my supplier details, then I hit a wall. I'm OK with UK invoices, payments etc, but need guidance with this please folks. TIA
