Other Questions
We're thrilled to welcome you here in the Community, Kerry. Let's discuss how you can effectively track the VAT you paid, ensuring they're mapped to the appropriate account and blocks on your return.
In QuickBooks Online, the tax codes mapped to Block 15A are SIO or Old Standard Imports on transactions and SIN or Standard Imports. If unsure which one to use, I recommend seeking advice from your accountant.
With that said, you'll want to edit your bill to make sure the appropriate tax code is utilised so amounts will be posted to the correct account and blocks. Here's how:
- Select Expenses, then Expenses.
- Choose Bill from the designated drop-down and use the Filter to narrow down the result.
- Locate the bill, then click View/Edit from the Action column.
- In the Category details or Item details section, pick the correct rate in the VAT column for every item.
- Click Save and Close.
It's also worth noting that the default account in QuickBooks for VAT from sales and purchases is the VAT payable. If you have another dedicated VAT control account for recording purposes, you can transfer the amount from the VAT payable account using a journal entry.
