VAT - Recording return submitted directly to HMRC

[Joelle]

Hi I am fairly new to Quickfile and didn’t do my VAT the right way (ie. was direct via Quickfile to HMRC). I did it manually via their website so how do I log the payment on Quickfile? Many thanks

Hi @Joelle

For everything to balance, the easiest way would be to create a VAT return within QuickFile matching the figures you submitted to HMRC directly (Reports >> VAT Return). This creates the “balance owed” or you as a journal. The other way to do it would be to create the journal manually.

Then you can log the VAT payment by clicking the “Tag me!” button on the bank statement view, selecting Tax Payment and then VAT Liability.

I hope this helps?

Thank you so much. Yes this really helps
