Trading goods with the UK

Buy goods from the UK - Postponed Accounting

For businesses buying goods from the UK, excluding those using the Northern Ireland protocol, postponed accounting has been introduced to help the cashflow on businesses that previously didn’t have to factor in paying Import VAT. Postponed accounting can now also be used for imports from non EU countries.

To help, Sage 50 Accounts v27.1 introduces twelve new tax codes that you can use to record the import of goods.

NOTE: By default, these are T39 and T50 but may differ depending on the tax codes you already use.

For this you would normally use the zero rated tax code, T0.
