EU VAT Treatment Query

Hello,

Please can you tell me if it's possible to enter a VAT treatment for the EU that doesn't automatically deduct or add tax?

Thank you.

Hello Matthew,

Regarding your question about VAT treatment, please tell me:

  1. Is your business selling to an EU customer or buying from an EU supplier?

  2. Does the transaction involve goods or services?

Thanks,

Mark McLaren

Hi Matthew,

OK - if the customer does not charge the supplier VAT, then here's how to
enter the transaction:

  1. For sale of services to EU customer, set the VAT rate to 0% and click
    VAT Treatment > Sale of Services to EU Customer > VAT Treatment > More VAT
    Details > Customer Pays VAT Directly to VAT Authority

  2. For purchases of services from EU supplier, just set the VAT rate to 0%
    and click VAT Treatment > Purchases of Services from EU Supplier

  3. For sale of goods to an EU customer, set the VAT rate to 0% and click
    VAT Treatment > Sale of Goods to EU Customer > VAT Treatment > More VAT
    Details > Customer Pays VAT Directly to VAT Authority

  4. For purchases of goods from an EU supplier, set the VAT rate to 0% and
    click VAT Treatment > Purchase of Goods from EU Supplier.
