Question

I sell goods to Non-VAT registered customers in EC member states therefore I use the standard 20% tax code, however how do I get these to be calculated for box 8?

Hello there, Websterwigs.

 

Once a customer is not VAT-registered, you use 0.0% ECG. The net sale will show to box 6 & 8. You can refer to this article for more information: Common VAT Codes.

 

If you have more questions, don't hesitate to let us know.

Hi Kristine,

 

This is not correct as we have to charge 20% VAT on orders to Non-Vat registered customers in EC member states, so the code should not be 0.0%.

 

This is what it says on the Gov.uk website:

 

How to charge VAT to someone in another EU country

 

If you sell goods or services to someone who is not VAT-registered in another EU country, you must charge VAT in the normal way, just as you would for a UK customer. You include the sale in your VAT Return for the period when the tax point takes place.

Hi again Kristine,

 

I have just been doing some more research into this and it looks like box 8 is only for VAT-registered companies in the EU. If the customer is not Vat-registered they are treat just like a sale in the UK and the net value only goes into box 6 will all your other sales.

 

Sorry for the confusion and thank you for your help!
