Exempted from VAT to subject to VAT

Question

In 2025, we were exempted from VAT, but since January 1, 2026, we have become subject to VAT.

The timeline shows that the VAT return for quarter 4 is still to be done.

But in the previous year, I was exempted from VAT.

Do I have to submit that return for quarter 4 of the year when we were still exempted from VAT?

Because the vAT declaration is obviously 0.0 there.

We also switched to being subject to VAT in 2026. I don't think we need to submit the vAT declaration for quarter 4.

Because when I go back to the 2024 and 2023 financial years, it also states that we have to do this.

OK, I've just closed these quarters.

I think it's because we switched to being subject to VAT and DEXTER's software was updated.
