QuickBooks have released a new product update, R3. The main changes appear to be concerned with fixing errors in paying high earning directors and providing the new 20% Vat rate in new company files.

Over the next few days you should expect to see a request to install the update when you open up QuickBooks

As from Friday 1st December the UK VAT rate reverts to 17.5%. To help you change the rate of VAT in QuickBooks I have provided links to documents on the QuickBooks UK website that you can download and print off.  These give you step-by-step instructions on how to change the rate of VAT.

There were two methods of changing the rate to 15.0%. The first took your standard VAT rate and changed it to 15.0%. The second method created a new temporary VAT code. Instructions for both methods are given below.
