In the last couple of versions that I have used (currently 25.11.18.3131) the “Export button” has disappeared in the UK “VAT calculation worksheet”, making it impossible to lodge a VAT return. I am using Manager on Linux (Pop OS! 24.04 beta). Is this a problem with using Pop or a bug in Manager? ---

Hello @laidback, I can confirm this. I’m not that familiar with the UK localization and I’m not sure how this Export button works, but this was part of a localization used by many users for quite a while now. I’m placing this in #bugs. ---

I am experiencing this issue as well. Kubuntu 24.04 Manager v 25.12.2.3146 ---

Just wondering if there will be a fix for this bug fairly soon? I have another VAT return in the offing and really require this facility. I can amend a previous report to deal with it but that is in breach of the HMRC guidelines. ---

I am new to this forum so please bear with me, Is there a fix to no export button ---

No, doesn’t appear to be a fix as of yet (v 26.1.21.3171). Doesn’t even appear to be any recognition of the bug. Which is unfortunate, as it makes the program sort of unusable to UK VAT registered companies. ---

Yes, but it’s been “removed” for several months now. ---

For what it’s worth, I successfully used a work-around for my most recent VAT return. All I actually need is a .csv file version of the VAT Report as the basis for later onward submission to HMRC. So I used the Copy To Clipboard button (at the bottom right of the report) and then pasted that into a spreadsheet, saved the spreadsheet back in .csv format and I was good to go. ---

That sounds like a short term solution although the HMRC “Making tax digital” regs do state that there should be no user interaction involved in the process. But needs must! ---

My own interpretation of those regs is that it applies to the point at which the submission to HMRC is made. For example, it is quite acceptable under the regs to use a third-party to make submissions on one’s behalf, and the regs do not particularly stipulate what has to happen between me and the nominated third-party. As you say “needs must”…….. ---

This should be resolved in the latest version (26.5.15) I’m transitioning localizations into extensions which will make country-specific functionality easier to maintain and evolve. You can get the report through an extension now and that one does support CSV export. First, go to `Extensions` tab: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/manager1/original/3X/6/1/61f82037948095af385c87723405d1c0a51867f2.png) Then find `United Kingdom` and click on the extension ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/manager1/original/3X/b/8/b8ab632443df16062ad801157d9fba5e1268ca9d.png) Select business, there go to `Reports` tab and click `Install` on `VAT Calculation Worksheet` ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/manager1/original/3X/4/6/46e13426552b98cd11076db382c9815b92a07391.png) It should say `Installed`. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/manager1/original/3X/e/4/e478c3c721e4bce3970594fdad229c1327d9c041.png) Now within your business file, go to `Reports` tab ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/manager1/original/3X/c/0/c04d2d1d0fdf9049ae9cf5e78a767b320c5d939e.png) and you will see new `VAT Calculation Worksheet` button. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/manager1/original/3X/5/a/5adc6712653c6c9a16c83c01c760b43f14a66d5c.png) This will reveal the report complete with `Download CSV` button. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/manager1/original/3X/9/3/9349be7a08ee72fcd09da45edeef85d410bd4fc9.png) The extension looks kind of ugly and unpolished but first let’s make it work.
