# Why am I not able to apply VAT on some accounts or the VAT field has greyed out?

It either means that the VAT is not applicable for that account or **Include the transactions in VAT return** option is not enabled for that particular account.

To include this,

*   Navigate to **Accountant > Chart of Accounts**.
*   Hover over the particular account whose transactions you would like to include for VAT return and click on **edit**.
*   Check the **Include the transactions in VAT return** option and save.
