Prepare to set up sales tax or VAT handling in QuickBooks. Where I am based and where I sell: [LOCATIONS]. What I sell (goods, services, digital): [WHAT_I_SELL]. Whether I am registered as far as I know: [REGISTRATION_NOTES]. Past returns and issues: [PAST_ISSUES]. Create a list of questions for my accountant: registration thresholds and status, which items are taxable, exempt or zero-rated, sales to other regions or countries, purchases and expenses, how to record tax on invoices and bills, filing periods and methods, how to correct errors, and which records to keep. Prepare a one-page summary of my business facts so the accountant can answer quickly, and list documents to bring. Explain in plain terms the difference between tax collected, tax paid and the amount owed: collected 1,400 and paid 900 leaves 500 to pay. I must not choose tax settings from general information; the accountant decides. Questions, not conclusions. General education only, with no tax, legal or accounting opinion; local rules differ, so note what a qualified bookkeeper should confirm [VERIFY].
