Hello, @padraig1.

I'm here to ensure that you'll be able to reject the items that are showing on your VAT tax exemption report in QuickBooks Online.

You can avoid the items on the report by creating an adjustment. To start, let's set up an account for tax adjustment first if you didn't have it yet. 

Here's how: 

1. Go to the Gear icon, then choose Chart of Accounts. 
2. Click New, then pick Income or Expense in the Account Type drop-down. 
3. Select a Detail Type in the box. 
4. Enter a name in the field. 
5. Tap Save and close. 

After that, you can now adjust the VAT by following the steps below. 

1. Click Taxes, then choose the Tax tab.
2.  Find the tax period you need to adjust, and then select View return.
3. Click Add an adjustment.
4. Pick the Reason for the adjustment.
5. Select the account for adjusting tax, then enter the amount. 
6. Tap Save and close. 

For the complete details, check out this article: Create or delete a tax adjustment.

Once done, go back to your VAT exceptions report to review the data. Then customise it to show the specific details. 

I've also added articles about tracking the adjustments, creating other tax rates, and other topics.
