Making Tax Digital

Thanks for joining in on this discussion, @seskauk. I can help you fix MTD issues and errors in QuickBooks Online (QBO) so you can get back to filing VAT returns. 

 

Keeping your VAT accounting period updated will help ensure that all returns are accurately filed and submitted on time. This error may occur if you have a pending or unsuccessful VAT return submission (this will have an amber or red icon next to it).

 

Please follow these steps on how to fix it:

 

  1. Go to Taxes.
  2. Select Go for it next to the return.
  3. Follow the instructions. Do not select Resubmit return for a rejected VAT filing. QBO will resubmit the same way as the original filing.

 

For more troubleshooting options for different issues, please visit this article: Fix MTD issues and errors in QuickBooks Online.

 

Furthermore, the error message you received indicates that you'll need to register for MTD and wait for email confirmation of your registration from HMRC before connecting to QBO. 

 

Additionally, here's an article that explains how to adjust your VAT liability, what happens after you make a VAT adjustment, and things to remember before submitting a VAT return: Make VAT adjustments in QuickBooks Online.
