Unbelievable!

have QB still not fixed this??!! They told me they were working on it, and as MTD VAT Returns had only just come in, it would be a week or so before a fix would be deployed...

in the end I had to give up because no one at QB help desk or Level 2 support could provide any meaningful assistance. I got my Accountant to create a separate zero VAT return for me.

im now super super careful with entering VAT elements and never ever edit one, which means my VAT Returns work fine.
