Hi, 

Sorry im new to VAT and require some advice on which VAT type i should use.

 

The Invoice was sent by Google Ireland for G-Suite Service.  

 

The Invoice shows 0% VAT  but below this is a line of text statating : "Services subject to the reverse charge - VAT to be accounted for by the recipient as per Article 196 of Council Directive 2006/112/EC"

 

Can i zero VAT the Invoice?

 

Thanks

 

Chris

Hi @One Auto 

 

As per, @ReinTrading's perfectly correct "rant" here : https://quickbooks.intuit.com/learn-support/en-uk/vat/proof-reverse-charge-vat-codes-wrong-in-qbo/01/536073

please ignore the descriptions you see inside QBO (when you click on the COG & Manage VAT Rates).

 

https://quickbooks.intuit.com/learn-support/en-uk/vat/common-vat-codes/00/239529

is better.

 

Google Ireland have zero rated the supply because you gave them your UK VAT number - this is Intra EU B2B Supply of Services (not Goods) = 20.0% ECS

 

Hope this helps.

 Hi there, One Auto.

 

There are variables of what VAT type you are going to choose, I suggest consulting to your tax adviser or revenue commissioner then you can mention the message to them as well.

 

You can check this article to give you more information about VAT: VAT: Getting Started.

 

I'm happy that you drop by the Community, let me know if you need anything else. I'll be here to help. Take care.
