Correct VAT code for an invoice for EU goods imported with VAT already paid

Hi there,

 

Could anyone please advise on the correct VAT code for recording an invoice with this scenario:

 

We have imported standard rate goods from Germany. Parcelforce has invoiced us for the import VAT of these goods prior to delivery, therefore we have already paid the VAT on these goods. We now want to record the invoice for the goods in Quickbooks, which VAT code do we use? I assume it is not PVA (20%) as that would mean we'd be reclaiming the VAT twice? 

 

Thanks for any help,
Austin

Hello Austin, 

 

Welcome to the Community page, 

You will need to speak to a trained and qualified accountant or HMRC who will be able to advise you one which VAT code to put it against, as we are just technical support. We have included a guide on the VAT codes here which may also help.
