Filing a VAT return in Quick Books 2010 pro
Permalink Closed


I am new to QB and not confident how the VAT returns work. I have taken on a client with no hand over from the previous bookkeeper.

The VAT return was run for the qtr ended 30.04.2011 just before I took over, but I am not sure the bookkeeper pressed "FILE RETURN" in QB. How can I check? I have print outs and I know its all been sent to HMRC and cheque paid. 

Prior VAT returns options list the PDF's dated up to 31.10.2010 which would mean maybe 2 returns havent been "filed" via QB. I just dont want to press the button unless I am absolutely sure!

thanks for any help!

Hello,

I'm on QB Pro 2006 so may not be exactly the same, but to see what VAT returns have been processed I go to suppliers - vat - prior vat returns and it brings up a list of all that have been filed.

If you do VAT - Prior VAT returns then only returns that have been filed will be shown in the list.
For the two that haven't been, if you have the printouts you can rerun the return and check that the figures appearing are the same as those that you know have been submitted then press the File Return button to keep QB correct.

I am using the same version, another way to check is to go into your VAT control account, you will see a colum for "Due Date/Filed Date". The due date will be there as default on the top of the box, and if filed, the filed date will be entered in the box below. If scroll to prior VAT periods that have been filed, you will what I mean, 2 dates entered.
